Henry Wulff Trigge And Alfred Trigge v Flavien Lavallee: PC 5 Dec 1862

By the old French law, in force in Lower Canada, a ”Transaction’, like an English compromise, is an agreement to put an end to disputes, and terminate or avoid litigation : and in such case the consideration which each party receives, is not the sacrifice of a right, but the abandonment of a claim. The French law in this case has adopted the definition of the Civil law [15 Moo. P.C. 2p2].
