The administrative contracts. A comparison between Mexico & Canada (emphasis in Quebec's regime)

Abstract

This article pretends to be a micro comparative exercise among the legal institution of administrative contracts, between the Mexican and Canadian legal regimes. Both legal systems correspond to completely different legal traditions. while the administrative contracts in Canada are considered part of their common law, notwithstanding the strong civil law influence, due to bijural system that rules in the Province of Quebec; in Mexican law, it follows the civilist tradition and the classic French doctrine of the administrative contracts. nevertheless, in both cases, exists a strong influence of the different tradition. So, the objective of this article is to find the similitudes and differences in what could be seen as a complete different way of behaviour of the same institution, but, searches for the same objectives and procures avoid similar practices.
