Rights, Wrongs, and Injustices is the first comprehensive account of remedial law’s scope, foundations, and structure. A remedy, it argues, is a judicial ruling, and remedial law is the body of rules governing the availability and content of remedies. Focusing on rulings that are intended to resolve private law disputes (e.g. awards of damages, injunctions, and restitutionary orders), this book explains why remedial law is distinctive, how it relates to substantive law, and what its foundational principles are. Drawing on doctrinal, historical, and philosophical sources, it advances four main arguments. First, the question of what courts should do when individuals seek their assistance (the focus of remedial law) is different from the question of how individuals should treat one another in their day-to-day lives (the focus of substantive law). Second, remedies provide distinctive reasons to perform the actions they command; in particular, they provide reasons different from those provided by either rules or sanctions. Third, remedial law has a complex relationship to substantive law. Some remedies are responses to rights-threats, others to wrongs, and yet others to injustices. Further, remedies respond to these events in different ways: while some remedies replicate substantive duties, others modify duties or create entirely new duties. Finally, remedial law is underpinned by general principles—principles that cut across the traditional distinctions between so-called ‘legal’ and ‘equitable’ remedies. Together, these arguments provide the foundation for an understanding of remedial law that takes the concept of a remedy seriously, classifies remedies according to their grounds and content, illuminates the relationship between remedies and substantive rights, and explains remedial law in terms of general principles, not historical categories.

"Le Droit des rapports collectifs du travail au Québec se veut d'abord un manuel visant à combler les besoins d'apprentissage des étudiants en droit du travail et en relations industrielles, de même qu'un livre de référence destiné à servir les praticiens de ces deux disciplines. Mais il s'agit également d'une étude critique du droit des rapports collectifs du travail animée d'une double perspective théorique : mettre en lumière les carences de ce droit à l'heure de la mondialisation et de la crise économique et financière qui l'accompagne depuis 2008; souligner les possibilités qu'offre aux acteurs la mobilisation des normes juridiques vu la nouvelle vigueur des mouvements sociaux, ici et ailleurs. L'ouvrage, tout en donnant un exposé précis de l'état du droit en la matière, entend donc apporter une contribution originale à la réflexion critique sur les rapports collectifs du travail dont l'importance économique, sociale et politique, grandement mise à mal à l'échelle de l'Amérique du Nord, demeure pourtant manifeste en contexte québécois. Cette édition présente la matière en deux volumes. Le Volume I, intitulé Le régime général, traite des fondements du droit des rapports collectifs du travail et en expose le régime général, tel que le détermine le Code du travail du Québec. L'approfondissement de ce régime général permet de mieux rendre compte, dans le cadre de cette seconde édition, du travail capital accompli par la Commission des relations du travail (CRT). Le Volume II (Les régimes particuliers) présente une analyse d'ensemble des régimes particuliers de négociation collective, de plus en plus nombreux au Québec. Sont considérées de manière approfondie les normes propres au secteur public et aux services essentiels, aux décrets de convention collective, à l'industrie de la construction, aux ressources familiales dans le secteur de la santé et des services sociaux, à la situation des cadres, etc."-- Résumé de l'éditeur

Freedom of expression and freedom of association are guaranteed by section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These freedoms are closely related, conceptually and philosophically, but evolved in different directions under the Charter. Whereas section 2(b)’s guarantee of expressive freedom generated a rich jurisprudence across diverse issues, section 2(d)’s attention focused on associational freedom in the context of labour union activities. The authors draw on a pocket of section 2(b) case law on picketing and other labour-related expressive activities to bring these guarantees into comparison. In doing so, they comment on the Supreme Court of Canada’s interpretation of each guarantee, including the constitutionalization of key aspects of labour relations under section 2(d). In addition, the authors critique the Court’s jurisprudence, emphasizing the central importance of protecting protest and dissent activities under both guarantees.
