De la Compétence des Cours d'Amirauté

Commercial Law
Titre V: Des Testamens, Inventaires, et Compétence des Cours d'Amirauté (On Wills, Inventories, and Admiralty Court Jurisdiction)
Chapitre II: De la Compétence des Cours d'Amirauté (On the Jurisdiction of the Admiralty Courts)

Elles ne connaîtront point des lettres de change, billets à ordre consentis par et en faveur d'individus non négocians; à moins que ces lettres de change et billets à ordre ayent pour objet des opérations de commerce.

Life lesson: Bills of exchange between non-merchants go to regular courts — unless the underlying deal is commercial.
Notes: Jurisdiction exclusion: lettres de change/billets à ordre between non-merchants = outside admiralty. Exception: if underlying transaction is commercial. Subject-matter test for jurisdiction.
