Law of CanadaModule 6
Civil justice, contract and tort: litigation, remedies, class actions, good faith, negligence and the civil law of Quebec
Private law in Canada is provincial, with the common law in nine provinces and three territories and the Civil Code in Quebec. Judges in both traditions often reach similar results by different routes, and Canadian courts have become used to comparing them. This module covers the machinery of civil disputes (where to sue, how a case proceeds, how the court finds facts and what remedies it gives) and the two core subjects of private law, contract and tort. It teaches the common law rules as the Supreme Court of Canada has developed them, with emphasis on the principles that are distinctively Canadian, and it points out where the Civil Code of Québec takes a different path.
This course explains the law of Canada, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on Canadian law, using invented people and businesses and abstract provinces. It states constitutional provisions and landmark decisions in simplified form, and it is not legal advice. Provinces and territories differ, the law changes, and every case turns on its facts. Consult a lawyer licensed in the province or territory that matters.
