Other Infosheets - Civil Responsibility in Quebec

Contractual Responsibility

We all make commitments to other people on a regular basis. Often when we do this, we’re actually making a contract. No matter what these contracts entail, under Quebec law – the Civil Code of Québec in particular – we are supposed to keep the promises we make in a contract. Any person who fails to respect a contract can be made to pay for the damage that results.

In this Infosheet, Éducaloi explains the general principles of contractual responsibility, the rights and obligations of the contracting parties, as well as the options for legal action available when someone breaks a contract.
