The practice of the profession of bailiff consists of any act the object of which is to serve written proceedings issuing out of any court, to execute judicial decisions that are executory and to perform any other duty assigned to a bailiff by law or by a court. 3, record 2, English, - bailiff

bailiff: civil-law sense. The term "bailiff" has a slightly different meaning in civil-law and common-law jurisdictions, although the bailiff performs similar functions in both systems. In Quebec civil law, bailiffs (or court bailiffs) are public officers, meaning that they have the power conferred by the State to authenticate and certify documents; their certificate of service and minutes of seizure are authentic writings. In common-law jurisdictions, there is no such concept and the bailiff is a sheriff's officer. 4, record 2, English, - bailiff

huissier; huissière : acception propre au droit civil. La notion diffère en droit civil et en common law même si dans les deux systèmes, les fonctions d'huissier sont similaires. En droit civil québécois, l'huissier est indépendant et il est officier public; les procès-verbaux qu'il rédige sont des actes authentiques. La common law ne connaît pas ce concept et l'huissier est un fonctionnaire dépendant du shérif. 2, record 2, French, - huissier
