English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Obligations (civil law)
CONT

A person's pat­rimony is, in principle, [composed] of all assets and liabilities that can be translated into a pecuniary value. It is that patrimony, viewed in terms of its present assets at the time of seizure and sale, that is made liable for the fulfilment of a debtor's obligations. The patrimony is known as the common pledge of creditors.

French

Record 2 2016-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial and Other Bodies (Law)
OBS

An instrument of incorporation; a document giving certain rights and privileges contingent upon the fulfilment of related obligations... the term "municipal charter" signifies the creative act, general or special, setting up the municipal corporation together with all other laws and constitutional provisions privileges, liabilities, and immunities of the municipal corporation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Organismes commerciaux ou non (Droit)
OBS

Écrit émanant de l'État et qui fait foi des pouvoirs et des droits d'une compagnie. Un des actes constitutifs de compagnie [...] le substantif «charte» [et] l'expression «lettres patentes» ne sont plus employés en France. Ce sont des termes de droit monarchique [...] Le Canada étant un pays monarchique, «charte» et «lettres patentes» continuent d'y avoir droit de cité. «Acte constitutif» correspondrait peut-être mieux que ces deux termes, cependant, aux réalités contemporaines.

OBS

Le législateur au fédéral et en Ontario rend «corporation» par «personne morale» mais celui du Nouveau-Brunswick et du Manitoba privilégie l'homographe français «corporation».
