Law: Contract(s)
Sale of real estate
This is a pre-contract for the sale of a house in France. Under the description of the vendor (who is French and domiciled in France) is the following:
Non soumis a un pacte civil de solidarité, ainsi déclaré
Logic tells me that this is saying that the vendor is not bound by any agreement that he owns the property jointly with anybody else (e.g. his wife) but what is the best translation into UK English for pacte civil de solidarité?
Thanks in advance!

civil partnership (PACS)
here is what I would put.
Note from asker:
| Thanks Eutychus & Tony: the vendor is single (it says so in the contract) so I guess it's just confirming that he hasn't entered into a Civil Partnership either. All is clear now! |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Tony M
: Yes, it's quite sufficient, since the whole point is that there ISN'T one! It's just like saying 'not married', too.

CORRECT
DEF – A French law adopted in
October 1999 which allows
unmarried heterosexuals and
homosexuals to register their unions
and have inheritance, housing, and
social welfare rights, as well as the
right to pay joint taxes. Source
CONT – In the PACS, the definition
of "union" will differ from a marriage -
couples will be asked to register at a
court, rather than at a town hall, and
they will earn the right to a joint tax
return after three years of fidelity,
compared with instantly for married
couples. Source
OBS – Compare to the North-
American concept of "registered
domestic partnership". Source
OBS – In France, the Civil Solidarity
Pact bill would provide a judicial
framework for unmarried couples,
both heterosexual and homosexual,
and tax and inheritance advantages.
