[edit] Napoleonic Code

[edit] Original French

"Le Code civil du Bas Canada (ou C.c.B.C.) est l’ancien texte législatif ayant régi le droit civil au Québec du 1er août 1866 jusqu'au 31 décembre 1993. Il prend son inspiration, entre autres, du Code Napoléon (le code civil français instauré en 1804), de la Coutume de Paris, du Code de Louisiane et de celui du Canton du Vaud."

From the FAQ of the Réseau juridique du Québec at this Web address:

[edit] Translation

"The Civil code of Lower Canada (or C.c.L.C.) is the former legislative text governing the civil law of Quebec from August 1, 1866 to December 31, 1993. It took its inspiration, among others, from the Napoleonic Code (the French civil code founded in 1804), the Customs of Paris, the Code of Louisiana and that of the Canton du Vaud."

[edit] Removing derogatory and nonsensical remarks

We removed today from the article the following:

  • "From 1759 to 1763, martial law prevailed in the country, allowing for all sorts of injustice to go on. In 1763, the British declared that French civil law was inapplicable, thus continuing a period of legal uncertainly."

Can you explain in which way stating an obvious fact (that numerous injustices go on in a country under martial law) is nonsensical? I believe it would have been better if you had first written the nature of your objection to this passage in the talk page BEFORE unilaterally deciding to remove it from the article page. -- Mathieugp 17:13, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
While I still disagree with JillandJack's methods, I think that paragraph does need to provide detail about some injustices that occurred under martial law, if possible. Bearcat 20:54, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I agree. I know of the Nadeau case and various stolen properties cases but not in the details. I am not certain where we should search for this. Logically, the British Military Archives or the Canadian Military Archives. -- Mathieugp 22:48, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] French empire -> French colonial era

I've replaced "french empire" with "french colonial era" to avoid confusion since the former is normaly use to refer to the napoleonic era--Marc pasquin 01:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
