Thus the concept of acts of a mere sufferance contains elements over and above that of knowledge. Its real basis seems to lie :(a) in an obligingness on the part of the owner, who is acting as a good neighbour(used in a broad sense) and tacitly permits acts to be carried out on his property which are advantageous to the author of the acts without causing appreciable damage to the property and without the owner in any way abandoning his claim to ownership, such permission being revocable at any time;(b) in the absence of any intention on the part of the author of the acts to make the property his own; and(c) in the fact that the acts themselves will not be sufficient to constitute a possession. 3, record 1, English, - act%20of%20sufferance

Les actes de simple tolérance sont des actes matériels posés sur le fonds d'autrui qui n'emportent pas de prétention à la titularité d'un droit par celui qui les pose et de renonciation à un droit de la part de celui qui les subit (924 C.c.Q.) [Code civil du Québec]. La jurisprudence a défini l'acte de tolérance comme étant «le fait du propriétaire courtois, qui s'abstient de protester, comme il aurait droit de le faire, contre les agissements qu'il n'approuve pourtant pas». 2, record 1, French, - acte%20de%20tol%C3%A9rance

When the consultation process suggests amendment of Crown policy, we arrive at the stage of accommodation. Thus the effect of good faith consultation may be to reveal a duty to accommodate. Where a strong prima facie case exists for the claim, and the consequences of the government's proposed decision may adversely affect it in a significant way, addressing the Aboriginal concerns may require taking steps to avoid irreparable harm or to minimize the effects of infringement, pending final resolution of the underlying claim. 3, record 2, English, - duty%20to%20accommodate

Le statut de réfugié n'est pas réservé aux personnes qui sont membres d'un groupe politique, religieux ou d'autre groupe minoritaire. Bien que les membres de groupes minoritaires soient en pratique plus fréquemment exposés au risque d'être persécutés que ne le sont les personnes qui font partie de populations majoritaires, la seule exigence pour la reconnaissance du statut de réfugié est la démonstration qu'un motif conventionnel représente un facteur contribuant au risque d'être persécuté. 2, record 13, French, - reconnaissance%20du%20statut%20de%20r%C3%A9fugi%C3%A9
