Ask the person nearest to you the following question: if a close family member loaned you a sum of money, would you ask them to sign a contract to that effect? Their response should seem nearly automatic, 鈥渙f course I wouldn鈥檛.鈥� This intuitive answer to a seemingly basic question has ramifications if the relationship ever sours, and either party seeks recourse in Qu茅bec鈥檚 civil courts.

The civil law evidentiary system puts primacy on documentary evidence as the best possible means of proof in civil litigation. The civilian requirement for documents to prove the existence of a contractual obligation gives pause for a notable issue, how can you produce documents for a contract validly formed without written proof? This presentation attempts to tackle these questions in three parts.

• First, the presentation tracks the doctrinal origins of 鈥溇背颈璐遣醪蹙辈�颈濒颈迟茅 morale鈥� from the French 鈥渄roit ancient,鈥� the French Code Civil, and 颈尘辫辞蝉蝉颈产颈濒颈迟茅 morale鈥檚 presence prior to the Qu茅bec Civil Code鈥檚 revision in 1994.
• Second, legislative and doctrinal developments in Qu茅bec are analyzed, as well as the scope of the application in Quebec Civil Law by reviewing 46 cases where CCQ 2861 was argued since 1991. In doing so, 颈尘辫辞蝉蝉颈产颈濒颈迟茅 morale is found to apply in three circumstances: family, de facto relationships, and personal relationships approaching the quality of familial relationships.
• Finally, 颈尘辫辞蝉蝉颈产颈濒颈迟茅 morale is viewed from a macro perspective, determining that the expanded application of 颈尘辫辞蝉蝉颈产颈濒颈迟茅 morale is both a sociological phenomenon, and a pragmatic decision on the part of the legislator. The aim of the article is to clarify the exception鈥檚 parameters for more uniform application, and for parties to understand when they might be able to avail themselves of the exception.
