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).
