Drafting notes
- Under the Civil Code of Québec, a contract may be amended only with the consent of all parties; one party cannot impose an addendum.
- If the original contract requires amendments to be in writing and signed, comply strictly with that formality.
- In a consumer contract, the Consumer Protection Act strictly regulates amendments made by the merchant.
- Have the addendum signed by the same signatories (or persons with equivalent authority) and number successive addenda.
