Neither in French law, in the 1806 Code de procédure civile or earlier, nor in the 1867 Quebec Code of Civil Procedure or in its subsequent revisions, is there a definition of the word "arbitration", except for the 1986 amendments made to the Civil Code of Lower Canada.
Though the French Code de procédure civile of 1806 and our 1867 Code of Civil Procedure do not mention the undertaking to arbitrate, that does not mean it was unknown to our law before the 1965 revision any more than to French law.
