Upcoming features:

Etymologies - This addition to the Dictionary refers to the concepts of ownership, possession and holding. The objective was to determine the nature of the referential to which these concepts refer, and to describe the modalities of the legal and cognitive intentionalities which manifest themselves within this perspective. The completed studies will soon be available online.

Originality of the project

Stemming from the work of the Department of Justice Canada's Legal Dualism Team, the Legal Dictionary of Property in Canada illustrates the method that the Team has developed in order to complete its analyses. It is meant to capture the specificities of each legal system and to explain the relationships between them. This method is based on the analysis of judicial texts, which are key witnesses to the dynamism and complexity of the Canadian legal framework.
