Civil Law differs from country to country. In other countries, civil law is sometimes referred to as private law, and to some, it includes common law. Generally, it is a codified body of rules that delineate private rights, provides for remedies, and govern disputes involving private individuals, including but not limited to contracts, family law, and property.
Quebec is a province in Canada but it's different in the sense that it is the only province which uses French as its official language. The population is predominantly French-speaking and Laval, a city located at the southwestern part of Quebec, and north of Montreal, is no exception. That's why when you're in Laval, it is not uncommon to find French-speaking civil lawyers, or what they locally call as avocat civil laval.
Your avocat civil can represent you in the following cases: estate proceedings,all kinds of damages, personal injury, and will determine if you are entitled to a compensation for infringement. They can also assist you either in filing a suit of in defending yourself. If you have caused any damage to others, and you feel that you have a liability, it is best to hire your own avocat civil not only to determine the right amount of compensation that you are obliged to recompense but also to protect your rights as a defendant.
