Numerous European countries enable couples of both the saine and different sexes to enter a registered partnership. In the South, a partnership is available to couples of both the same and different sexes and sets up a new form of personal union. In the North, a partnership is available to persons of the same sex and has practically the same consequences as marriage. The law applicable to partnership depends on its specifie nature. In one case, French law concerning registered partnership clashes with an equivalent foreign law. In the other, French law concerning marriage clashes with foreign law concerning same-sex marriage.

Québec provides more than 300 assistance programs or measures to disabled persons, whether in the form of cash allowances or services. These programs, which were established over nearly half a century, provide unequal protection and access to assistance measures. Based on an exhaustive evaluation of existing programs, their origin and their actual effectiveness, the authors suggest that a more equitable compensation system be established for disabled persons. This new system requires that current assistance programs be simplified and merged, in particular as regards cash allowances. By carefully distinguishing between the principle of third party liability insurance and that of social solidarity, the authors put forward proposals which reduce the current irritants while respecting the state’s capacity to pay.
