Le consociationalisme est un modèle théorique et normatif de gestion du pluralisme qui cherche à favoriser des schèmes de gouvernance démocratique et de cohabitation pacifique dans des sociétés plurielles ou fragmentées. Sur le plan théorique, on peut résumer la logique générale du consociationalisme en mettant de l’avant quatre principes fondamentaux : un gouvernement de coalition, la représentation proportionnelle, le droit de veto et l’autonomie segmentale. Or, ces principes normatifs sont relativement abstraits et se prêtent à de nombreuses interprétations de la part des acteurs politiques. À ce titre, comment les sociétés fragmentées parviennent-elles à incorporer le consociationalisme et ses principes à leur système juridique? Cet article vise à apporter des éléments de réponse à ce questionnement, en comparant trois démocraties libérales et consociatives occidentales : la Belgique, l’Irlande du Nord (Royaume-Uni) et le Tyrol du Sud (Italie). Notre objectif est donc, d’une part, de mieux comprendre le contexte dans lequel les acteurs politiques de ces trois sociétés fragmentées ont entrepris d’introduire des mécanismes de partage du pouvoir, et, d’autre part, d’être en mesure de saisir comment le consociationalisme a pu y être mobilisé par le droit.

This article examines how contemporary analyses of vulnerability theory are reflected in legal approaches to undue influence and captation in the Canadian common law of wills and estates and in the Civil Code of Québec in the law of succession. Critical theorists point to the risks of assuming that vulnerability lies exclusively with the elderly and persons with disabilities. The equation risks oversimplifying matters, which could compromise the equality and dignity of members of these groups. There is also a risk of overlooking the harm that may be suffered by those who are victims of social or economic oppression. A more nuanced approach posits that vulnerability is a common human trait that cuts across social identities and experiences. Due to prevailing assumptions about vulnerability, this article hypothesizes that challenges to wills based on undue influence and captation will most often occur when the testator is elderly and/or has a disability at the time of execution of the will. Canadian common law and Quebec civil law jurisprudence are examined to assess this hypothesis. This analysis reveals that certain conditions do give rise to triggers heightened judicial scrutiny of wills, but that they do not in and of themselves determine legal outcomes. The case law thus suggests a moderate—but tempered—risk that courts will draw presumptions about age and capacity when assessing the presence of undue influence or captation. Perhaps more significant is the absence of challenges to wills involving young and healthy testators. Jurists might therefore wonder whether we are at risk of overlooking some cases of untoward conduct due to the conceptual associations we make between age, incapacity and vulnerability.

Certains peuples autochtones du Québec revendiquent des droits ancestraux sur le territoire visé par la Convention de la Baie-James et du Nord québécois alors qu’ils ne sont pas signataires de cette dernière. Or, la loi adoptée par le Parlement du Canada en 1977 pour donner effet à la Convention prétend éteindre les droits et les revendications territoriaux de « tous les Indiens et de tous les Inuit » dans le territoire « conventionné », et non seulement ceux des Cris et des Inuit qui sont parties à la Convention. Dans cet article, l’auteur évalue la conformité de cette disposition extinctive avec la Déclaration canadienne des droits. Il conclut qu’elle viole la Déclaration en privant, de manière injustifiée, les membres des peuples non signataires du droit de ne pas faire l’objet de discrimination raciale dans la jouissance de leur bien.
