This article examines “undefined” terms (art. 1512 CCQ), an oft-neglected topic in contract law. By leveraging judicial precedent concerning its application, the article identifies conditions for its application and proposes a structured analysis to help courts fix an appropriate term. The proposed analysis will also help to distinguish undefined terms from uncertain terms (art. 1510 CCQ), in the hopes of helping put an end to uncertainties.

Roberts & Zuckerman's Criminal Evidence gives an authoritative commentary on the fundamental principles and underlying logic of criminal evidence laws. It also tackles the foundations of principles for a fair trial, the presumption of innocence, the privilege against self-incrimination, and bad character evidence while engaging with the broader jurisprudential, moral, and political significance of evidence rules. Major doctrinal developments on evidence changes and cases are addressed such as cases relating to confession evidence, torture evidence, reverse onus clauses, confrontation, hearsay, previous sexual history, and bad character evidence. The title also includes the forensic applications of inductive logic, narrative, and probability.

"Administrative Law in Context, 4th Edition continues this title's approach to administrative law in the important contexts that shape legal ideas and doctrines in this field. It examines key principles and cases by leveraging the distinct voices of leading scholars and instructors from across Canada including an analysis of the recent Vavilov trilogy of cases from the Supreme Court of Canada and their significant affect on how judicial reviews of administrative decisions are now conducted in Canada. This detailed, collaborative analysis gives students a better sense of how administrative boards and tribunals work in practice and differentiates itself from Admin8 by using a contemporary experiential pedagogy that employs increased commentary and discussion."-- Provided by publisher.

"The tax dispute resolution system in Canada is in need of reform. Despite the best intentions of stakeholders, it remains inefficient, expensive, and fragmented, especially in relation to significant and complex disputes. Although much public policy discussion has been devoted to substantive elements of the Canadian tax system, relatively little debate and scholarship has tackled the largely antiquated process for resolving tax disputes. This book is intended to spark a dialogue about the need for change and outline the path forward."-- Provided by publisher

"Dedicated to Peter Hogg, Principles of Canadian Income Tax Law, 10th Edition elucidates Canadian income tax law in simple, concise, and non-technical language. The book encourages us to think deeply and critically about the important role of income tax in Canadian society.It emphasizes the principles of income tax law, the policies that influence and underlie the system, and its major features and context. The book upholds tax law as a rational system contributing to Canadas socio-economic fabric.

"Canada's first Income Tax was introduced in the Income War Tax Act of 1917. This book is the first to comprehensively analyze its design, why it was introduced, why a wartime measure was continued when the conflict was ended, and how the income tax grew into a principal aspect of the fiscal origins of the welfare state. It integrates an expert internal and technical history of the statute (definitions of income, tax rates and exemptions) with a broader overview of the political and economic histories which shaped the Income Tax Act's origins and development. Along the way the authors also look at a variety of related subjects, some not always included in tax histories - federal-provincial fiscal arrangements, tax evasion, tax administration, the way judicial decisions shaped the application of the Act, and tax treaties."-- Provided by publisher

A declaratory judgment is a determination of rights without consequential relief. Declaratory judgments can be highly useful for litigants, but they are also somewhat lacking in doctrinal clarity, raising a number of questions that go to the core of the judicial role. What does it mean to have a legal right, or to declare the existence of a legal right, if that right, while recognized, is not enforced? It has been held that a declaratory judgment is available only when there is a real dispute between the parties, but what is a real legal dispute without legal rights that can be enforced? When is it the business of courts to declare the existence of such a right?

"L'auteur aborde les différentes réalités reliées à la faillite et à l'insolvabilité, la réorganisation d'entreprises de même que la protection des salariés qu'il regroupe en dix titres. Chaque titre est associé à un thème spécifique dont la présentation a pour objectif central de permettre aux praticiens, aux étudiants et aux personnes touchées par cette situation non seulement d'avoir une vue d'ensemble du régime mis en place, mais également de faciliter les liens à faire entre chacun des thèmes. Conçu comme un tout, l'ouvrage se veut un outil pour aider le lecteur à bien établir le cadre juridique nécessaire, selon le contexte, à la détermination de la solution appropriée en se servant, notamment, de son index analytique et du synopsis. La Réforme de 2009 a considérablement modifié la façon de penser et les manières de faire. Avec l'apport de nos juges, la 5ᵉ édition en a été largement tributaire. Pourquoi une 6ᵉ édition? Essentiellement, parce que le temps était venu de faire une rétrospective. Cette édition tient compte des modifications apportées par le législateur depuis la dernière édition ainsi que les ajustements que le contexte de pandémie a nécessité depuis 2020. Outre le fait de l'enrichir avec de nouveaux commentaires et la mise à jour de l'information colligée dans l'édition précédente, l'auteur commente les modifications suivantes : l'obligation nouvelle d'agir de bonne foi; les biens détenus par le failli dans un régime enregistré d'épargne-invalidité; la désignation professionnelle des syndics; la survie d'un droit de propriété intellectuelle en cas de disposition ou de résiliation; l'enquête concernant le paiement fait par une personne morale faillie d’une indemnité de départ ou de préavis, d'une prime d'encouragement ou de tout autre avantage à un administrateur, dirigeant ou à quiconque dirige ou supervise les activités commerciales et les affaires internes de la personne morale dans la période suspecte prévue par la Loi; les situations nouvelles donnant droit aux prestations du programme de protection des salariés ainsi que les mesures prises pour bonifier celles-ci; l'instruction du surintendant des faillites aux fins de l'établissement du revenu excédentaire et les Directives du surintendant des faillites. Cette nouvelle édition fait également état de la jurisprudence récente portant, entre autres, sur les fiducies présumées et le 'debtor in possession financing'; la doctrine de la prépondérance fédérale; la proposition de consommateur conjointe et la question de savoir si l'amende imposée par un ordre professionnel à un membre devenu failli est une réclamation prouvable dont il ne peut être libéré"

"International Law: Doctrine, Practice, and Theory is an innovative and unique volume which crosses the traditional boundaries between textbook, casebook, and scholarly monograph. The book is designed primarily as an introduction to the system and substance of international law. It is also a convenient and comprehensive reference work on the most important aspects of this burgeoning field. The book includes introductory materials on the nature, history, and theory of international law from an international relations, as well as a legal, perspective. Carefully selected and edited primary materials — including treaties, UN documents, and cases — take readers to the very sources of the rules and principles that comprise modern international law. Extensive and critical commentary on, and analysis of, these primary materials guide the reader to an understanding of the rules, their strengths and weaknesses, and their place in the international legal system. Descriptions of contemporary real-world situations provide concrete context to the discussion. Remarkable for both its depth and breadth, International Law: Doctrine, Practice, and Theory sets the standard for the study of international law in Canada. It also constitutes an invaluable reference collection for practitioners, judges, and scholars working in this ever-increasingly important area of modern law."-- Provided by publisher.

"This book is our first major treatise in criminal law, a substantive modern interpretation of the law of evidence in Canada. It differentiates itself from the major treatises offered by other publishers by emphasizing practical guidance, advocacy tactics, a balance between Crown and defence perspectives, national context, and a more focused and succinct treatment than the more academic treatises. As an evidence treatise, the book is one of general application, covering issues relevant to all types of Canadian criminal offences."-- Provided by publisher.
