CRIMINAL AND PENAL LAW
Criminal law prohibits acts that go against the fundamental values of our society, such as murder and theft. In Canada, most criminal offenses (“crimes”) and their consequences (“penalties”) are provided for in the Criminal Code.
A defendant is innocent until proven guilty.
Although trials can sometimes be long, all defendants have the right to a trial. Indeed, an accused is “presumed innocent” until found guilty by the court.
This “presumption of innocence” means that the accused is officially innocent until proven guilty in court. Why? Because the consequences of a conviction are very serious.

CIVIL RIGHT
Description
Along with criminal law, civil law is one of the two major categories of law. While the criminal law is interested in prohibited behaviors, the civil law is above all interested in people, the relationships that people have with each other and property (objects).
In Quebec, the vast majority of civil law rules are brought together in a very large law called the Civil Code of Quebec.

BUSINESS LAW
Description
Business law is one of the branches of law. The expression can refer to:
Private business law which covers a set of rights relating to business affairs such as contract law, le commercial lease law, intellectual property, company law, commercial procedure, tax law, criminal law, consumer law, etc. It regulates the activity of traders and manufacturers in the exercise of their professional activity. It also defines occasional commercial acts produced by non-commercial persons.
.
Public business law, or public economic law, includes all the branches of law relating to public intervention in economic activities. This intervention can be the subject of taking charge of economic activities, supervision and regulation of activities, or even intervention on the structures providing the activities. Contrary to what its name might suggest, all the components of public business law do not come under public law. Commercial law, le competition law or even the substantive law of the European Union have an essential place in the exercise of public business law. The latter is therefore more of a multidisciplinary subject than an independent branch of law.
