Normalisation du vocabulaire français

du droit des contrats et délits (common law)

Index des termes anglais avec renvois aux dossiers d’analyse

au 24 mars 2014

Les résultats des travaux ont été consignés dans JURITERM et ont mené, en 2008, à la

parution du Lexique du droit des contrats et du droit des délits (common law), publié

comme bulletin de terminologie 266 de la Direction de la normalisation terminologique

du Bureau de la traduction du Canada.

Ces travaux ont bénéficié d’un soutien de Justice Canada dans le cadre du Fonds d’appui

à l’accès à la justice dans les deux langues officielles. Le Comité de normalisation était

composé de représentants du Bureau de la traduction – Gouvernement du Canada (Iliana

Auverana et Sylvie Falardeau); du Centre de recherche en droit privé et comparé du

Québec – Université McGill (Mario Naccarato); du Centre de traduction et de

documentation juridiques – Université d’Ottawa (François Blais et Isabelle Chénard); du

Centre de traduction et de terminologie juridiques – Université de Moncton (Gérard

Snow et Sylvette Savoie Thomas); et de l’Institut Joseph-Dubuc – Collège universitaire

de St-Boniface (Sylvie Léger).
