The law of unincorporated associations in Canada

"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.
