OBS

viager; viagère; tenant viager; titulaire de domaine viager : termes normalisés par le Comité de normalisation dans le cadre du Programme national de l'administration de la justice dans les deux langues officielles (PAJLO).

OBS

Ce terme a une définitidon spéciale dans certains textes législatifs britanniques. Il arrive donc que l'auteur qui vise la situation britannique fasse une distinction entre "tenant for life" et "life tenant"; cette distinction n'est pas pertinente dans le droit interne canadien.
