bailiff: common-law sense. The term "bailiff" has a slightly different meaning in common-law and civil-law jurisdictions, although the bailiff performs similar functions in both systems. In Quebec civil law, bailiffs are independent from sheriffs and are public officers, which means, for example, that they have the power conferred by the State to authenticate or certify documents. 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 3, English, - bailiff
