41. The court having territorial jurisdiction in Québec to hear a judicial application is the court of the domicile of the defendant, or of one of the defendants if there are two or more defendants domiciled in different districts.
If the defendant has no domicile in Québec, the court that has territorial jurisdiction is the court of the defendant’s residence or, in the case of a legal person, the court of the place where the defendant has an establishment, or the court of the place where the defendant has property.
So far as public order permits, the court of the defendant’s elected domicile, or the court designated by an agreement between the parties other than a contract adhesion, also has territorial jurisdiction.
