P-40.1 - Consumer Protection Act
Section 26
Disposition versions
26. The contract and the related documents must be drawn up in French. The contract may be drawn up in a language other than French if, after the French version has been given to the consumer in accordance with section 27, such is the express wish of the parties.
If the version of the contract drawn up in a language other than French is the version signed by the parties, the related documents may then be drawn up in that other language.
If the contract or the documents are drawn up in French and in another language, and there is a discrepancy between the two versions, the interpretation most favourable to the consumer prevails.
No sum may be required from the consumer for the drawing up of the French version of the contract or of the related documents.
26. The contract and the documents attached thereto must be drawn up in French. They may be drawn up in another language if the parties expressly agree thereto. Where they are drawn up in French and in another language, in the case of a divergence between the texts, the interpretation more favourable to the consumer prevails.
