From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Custom of Paris (French: Coutume de Paris) was a collection of non-written and non-codified laws accepted and respected by the people of France and New France.[1] First codified in 1507 in the city of Paris, the Custom of Paris became the main source of law throughout New France in 1664 under Article 33 of the decree by the King of France, Louis XIV. Later, the customary law was replaced by the Civil Code of Lower Canada in 1866 which incorporated English Law into its existing legal framework.
