"Tort law includes the legal rules that govern many important subjects such as negligence, nuisance, defamation and trespass. These rules are of foundational importance for lawyers and judges and are also important for members of the public seeking to understand their rights and responsibilities in their everyday and commercial activities. Because tort law is primarily drawn from the results of many judicial decisions in individual cases, it can be difficult to understand. Introduction to the Canadian Law of Torts, 4th Edition provides the explanation and analysis needed to confidently navigate not only the key concepts but also many of the details and subtleties. Written by a team of leading tort law scholars, the fourth edition builds on the earlier editions written by the late Gerald Fridman, one of the finest legal scholars of his generation. It is a must-have addition to the libraries of practitioners and law students alike. It is an essential resource for those learning tort law and an excellent primer and quick reference for those with greater familiarity" --Publisher description.

"The unincorporated association is a common structure for many groups, including trade unions, religious groups, political parties, professional associations. Despite their economic and social significance, the legal framework that governs these organizations is a patchwork quilt of disparate doctrines that has never been pulled together through a coherent, book-length treatment of the subject. This book will be the first (and thus far only) book in the Canadian marketplace to cover the law regarding these associations. The current disarray in the law means that lawyers must spend hours just to research the most basic questions that arise in this area. Because there is no authoritative text to use as a starting point, lawyers must find the relevant case law themselves and then engage in time consuming research to ensure that they have all key authorities. This book will allow lawyers to reduce their research time and provide greater value to clients by focusing on the application of those principles on the case at hand."-- Provided by publisher.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Les institutions judiciaires d'un pays constituent la trame sur laquelle la science du droit s'affine jour après jour à la lumière du contentieux qui afflue vers nos tribunaux. Leur étude est d'actualité. La justice française traverse en effet une période de turbulences qui bouleverse le paysage habituel et polarise l'attention sur d'importantes métamorphoses réalisées, préparées ou simplement annoncées. Dans la mesure où les institutions judiciaires sont une des composantes essentielles de notre vie économique, politique et sociale, il est normal que des réformes leur permettent de mieux répondre aux exigences du monde moderne, notamment celles découlant de l'essor des techniques numériques et du développement de l'intelligence artificielle. Mais ces réformes transforment le service public de la justice, lequel est désormais soumis à des impératifs de gestion et aux principes du management sur le modèle entrepreneurial. C'est un fait que nous sommes confrontés actuellement à une effervescence législative qui, si l'on n'y prend garde, peut devenir une source d'incertitude difficile à maîtriser. Pour remplir correctement son office, la justice a aussi besoin de sérénité. La présente édition est à jour des réformes les plus récentes, notamment la loi du 23 mars 2019 et ses décrets d'application. Cet ouvrage s'adresse d'abord aux étudiants de 1re année voulant approfondir leurs connaissances en institutions juridictionnelles et introduction au droit. Les étudiants de 3e année ou de master pourront y trouver des éléments complétant utilement leur cours de procédure (civile, pénale ou administrative). Ceux préparant les concours et examens d'accès aux professions de la justice (avocats, magistrats, greffiers, huissiers) y puiseront de la matière pour parfaire leur culture judiciaire."

Newly and thoroughly revised, Halsbury's Conflict of Laws (2020 Reissue) analyzes and explains the broad range of conflict questions and rules impacting Canada's 14 jurisdictions. The realities of a global marketplace and shrinking political borders mean that the application and reach of law are seldom confined to a province, a country or even a continent. The field of conflict of laws, also known as private international law, concerns the mechanisms for addressing cross-jurisdictional legal conflicts in regard to three major areas: choice of law ; choice of jurisdiction ; recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
