Synopsis

This book details the complex legal issues surrounding fishing rights in the Rimouski and Metis Rivers, located within the Province of Quebec, Canada. The author undertakes an historical examination of the legal framework that governs these rights, tracing their evolution from the era of French colonial rule in the 17th century to the present day. The book draws upon primary source material from legal disputes and legislation, including judgments from the Seigniorial Court and relevant statutes enacted by the Canadian Parliament. Through this analysis, the author highlights the interplay between common law, civil law, and the principles of property rights in shaping the legal landscape surrounding fishing rights in the region. The book concludes that the rights of seigniors, or feudal lords, to fish in these rivers remain intact, despite the abolition of the feudal system in Quebec in 1854. This work provides valuable insights into the intricacies of Canadian property law and the historical development of resource rights in the country.
