Social Practice and Customary Law: Allodiality and Disputes over Rights in the Seigneurie of L'Isle-sous-Montréal
The allodial rule declares that all land is free short of title proving the contrary. This essay explores the meanings of custom as law and practice by tracing the place of this allodial rule in the disputes between the communities of L'Isle-sous-Montréal (in the present-day Yonne) and their 18th-century seigneurs. While custom as formal law held great potential for shaping and justifying local practice, its broad promise failed to be sustained in the courts. Villagers combined their legal opposition with a more active and legalistic local resistance. A Consideration of the tactics of local opposition, of collective decision-making and of participation in the opposition leads us again to the notion of custom. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
