"In 1982, Canada formally recognized Aboriginal rights within its Constitution. The move reflected a consensus that states should and could use group rights to protect and accommodate subnational groups within their borders. Decades later, however, no one is happy. This state of affairs, Panagos argues, is rooted in a failure to define what aboriginality means, which has led to the promotion and protection of a single vision of aboriginality--that of the justices of the Supreme Court. He concludes that there can be no justice so long as the state continues to safeguard a set of values and interests defined by non-Aboriginal people."-- Provided by publisher.

"The book introduces and describes the principal characteristics of the Canadian constitution, including Canada's institutional structure and the principal drivers of Canadian constitutional development. The constitution is set in its historical context, noting especially the complex interaction of national and regional societies that continues to shape the constitution of Canada. The book argues that aspects of the constitution are best understood in 'agonistic' terms, as the product of a continuing encounter or negotiation, with each of the contending interpretations rooted in significantly different visions of the relationship among peoples and societies in Canada. It suggests how these agonistic relationships have, in complex ways, found expression in distinctive doctrines of Canadian constitutional law and how these doctrines represent approaches to constitutional legality that may be more widely applicable. As such, the book charts the Canadian expression of trans-societal constitutional themes: democracy; parliamentarism; the rule of law; federalism; human rights; and Indigenous rights, and describes the country that has resulted from the interplay of these themes"-- Provided by publisher.

« Les rapports entre la banque et son client ont beaucoup évolué au fil des dernières décennies. Les causes sont multiples : pression concurrentielle, ouverture des frontières, développements technologiques, notamment. À titre d’exemple, sous l’effet de ces derniers, il est désormais courant pour un client d’accéder à son compte bancaire par le site Internet de son institution financière ou de favoriser les modes de paiement électroniques. L’ouvrage Droit bancaire traite les aspects relatifs aux institutions financières. Cette cinquième édition tient compte de ces nouvelles tendances ainsi que des nombreuses modifications législatives et normatives adoptées depuis l’édition précédente en 2004. »-- Résumé de l'éditeur

"Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de permettre à tous de « fréquenter » le droit international privé et de ne plus voir en lui un spectre mais plutôt, comme nous le considérons, une matière passionnante. Sans jamais tomber dans la vulgarisation, nous avons essayé de présenter les concepts et les principes sous forme simple, parfois grâce à des schémas, afin de les rendre le plus accessibles possible. Nous nous sommes attardées à la façon dont le droit international privé fonctionne, plus qu'à son application dans des domaines spécifiques. Nous proposons au lecteur une boîte à outils grâce à laquelle, une fois les éléments maîtrisés, il devient moins ardu de déployer le raisonnement au service de tel ou tel problème."-- Site web de l'éditeur

The law of abstract payment undertakings fashions a rule that the undertakings are, as their name implies, independent of the transactions out of which they arise. That independence principle admits of an important exception if the beneficiary of the undertaking fraudulently seeks payment when he has no colourable right to payment. The parameters of the fraud exception to the abstraction principle are of necessity imprecise. Although courts have developed a number of limits to the exception, some courts, unaware perhaps of the danger they pose to the commercial efficacy of these undertakings, sometimes engage in wide-ranging fraud inquiry. This article contends that courts must limit the inquiry. The article illustrates the problem with analysis of three cases, one each from Australia, Canada and the United States.

TERMINOLOGY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK Three categories of international rules may govern letters of credit: * The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credit, 2007 Revision, ICC Publication 600 (UCP), which were prepared by the International Chamber of Commerce; * The International Standby Practices ISP98, 1998, ICC Publication 590 (ISP98), which were prepared by experts in the United States and subsequently endorsed by the International Chamber of Commerce; * The Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, 2010 Revision, ICC Publication 758 (URDG), which were prepared by the International Chamber of Commerce. By contrast, a standby letter of credit is generally an undertaking to pay the purpose (but not the legal nature) of which is similar to a guarantee:2 for example, the issuing bank will undertake to make a payment to the beneficiary upon presentation of a demand by the beneficiary stating that the applicant is in default to perform its obligations under a certain contract. [...]letters of credit are frequently used in purely domestic transactions. The leading Canadian case in the area of letters of credit is the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Bank of Nova Scotia v. Angelica-Whitewear Ltd. and Angelica Corporation3 (AngelicaWhitewear).
