DESCRIPTION:Chaque été\, le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et com
 paré organise une série de séminaires afin de promouvoir les travaux de re
 cherche des étudiants et des étudiantes de 91������ et d’ailleurs. Tout le m
 onde est invité à y assister. Pour plus d'informations\, écrire à centre.c
 repeau [at] mcgill.ca.\n\nConférencier: Philippe April\n\nAsk the person n
 earest to you the following question: if a close family member loaned you 
 a sum of money\, would you ask them to sign a contract to that effect? The
 ir response should seem nearly automatic\, “of course I wouldn’t.” This in
 tuitive answer to a seemingly basic question has ramifications if the rela
 tionship ever sours\, and either party seeks recourse in Québec’s civil co
 urts.\n\nThe civil law evidentiary system puts primacy on documentary evid
 ence as the best possible means of proof in civil litigation. The civilian
  requirement for documents to prove the existence of a contractual obligat
 ion gives pause for a notable issue\, how can you produce documents for a 
 contract validly formed without written proof? This presentation attempts 
 to tackle these questions in three parts.\n\n\n	First\, the presentation tr
 acks the doctrinal origins of “impossibilité morale” from the French “droi
 t ancient\,” the French Code Civil\, and impossibilité morale’s presence p
 rior to the Québec Civil Code’s revision in 1994.\n	Second\, legislative an
 d doctrinal developments in Québec are analyzed\, as well as the scope of 
 the application in Quebec Civil Law by reviewing 46 cases where CCQ 2861 w
 as argued since 1991. In doing so\, impossibilité morale is found to apply
  in three circumstances: family\, de facto relationships\, and personal re
 lationships approaching the quality of familial relationships.\n	Finally\, 
 impossibilité morale is viewed from a macro perspective\, determining that
  the expanded application of impossibilité morale is both a sociological p
 henomenon\, and a pragmatic decision on the part of the legislator. The ai
 m of the article is to clarify the exception’s parameters for more uniform
  application\, and for parties to understand when they might be able to av
 ail themselves of the exception.\n\n
