Abstrakt
The subject matter of the article is a contract for services in the context of regulation contained in the Code civil du Québec of 1991, including normalization of services performance included in (having nowadays only a historical virtue) Code civil du Bas Canada of 1866. The regulation C.c.Q. devoted to the contract in question is presented, including a structure of obligations accepted by a legislator in Code civil du Québec, and
in comparison to a specific task contract, as both contracts are defined in one article (2098 C.c.Q.). Assumptions accepted by the legislator concerning regulation of both contracts (the specific task contract and contract for services) have been criticized, first and foremost on account of the fact that such a regulation is not explicit, which results in several problems of theoretical and practical nature. In the second part of article, regulation of the contract for services is analyzed, includingpre?contractual and contractual disclosure requirements, obligations of a service provider, obligation of a customer to pay remuneration and methods for fixing its amount, and subsequently the particular rules of fulfilling an obligation (a service) and a right of either party to terminate the agreement.
