"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

The Federal Court of Appeal and Federal Court are unique among Canada's courts because they are itinerant -- they hear cases in all parts of Canada -- as well as being bilingual and bijural. This book was prepared for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Federal Courts in 2021. Seventy-eight current and retired judges and prothonotaries on the two courts were interviewed and are referred to throughout the book. The authors present a brief history of these courts and their predecessor -- the Exchequer Court of Canada -- and an overview of the courts' jurisdiction, decision-making trends, and unique attributes. There are chapters on each of the courts' specialties -- administrative law, immigration and refugee law, intellectual property, security and intelligence, Indigenous issues, the environment, admiralty, labour and human rights, and tax. Chief Justice Noël and Chief Justice Crampton each contribute a chapter. The preface is by Justice Frank Iacobucci and the epilogue by Justice Robert Décary.

"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. Income tax is the main instrument for financing and sharing among Canadians the cost of collective consumption of goods and services and expressing notions of social welfare, distributive justice, and political civility." --Publisher.

"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

"Administration of Income Tax, 2023 is a comprehensive treatment of the law governing the administration of federal income tax in Canada (and provincial income taxes administered by the CRA under collection agreements). It is written from a taxpayer's perspective and provides the framework for tax returns, payments, audits, assessments and reassessments, objections, and appeals."--Quatrième de couverture

People have procedural rights because states are under a duty of political morality to provide them with fair procedures for settling disputes about the application of the laws. This obligation flows from the state's duty to treat each person as a free and equal member of the legal order. Yet adherence to procedural rights can impede accuracy in fact-finding, which in turn can result in poor protection for substantive rights. So the state also has a duty to provide a reasonable degree of accuracy in fact-finding. The legal order should therefore strive to improve the accuracy of fact-finding, within the constraints imposed by procedural rights people have. Nevertheless, the duty to provide reasonably accurate procedures is subordinate to the duty to provide procedural rights because the settlement of disputes among free persons must be conducted in a manner that respects their status as free persons.

"À l’instar des éditions précédentes, la 30e édition du Traité général de preuve et de procédure pénales propose une importante mise à jour législative et jurisprudentielle. Au cours des derniers mois, la Cour suprême a d’ailleurs été particulièrement prolifique. Comme toujours, le Traité résume le droit applicable en matière de preuve et de procédure criminelles tout en axant son attention sur les arrêts de la Cour suprême du Canada et ceux des cours d’appel provinciales. Quant à la Cour suprême spécifiquement, sont prises en compte les décisions rendues au 31 mai 2023, alors que pour la législation et les cours d’appel provinciales, cette date est légèrement devancée.Comme par le passé, les auteurs ont joint leurs efforts pour atteindre l’objectif qui est d’offrir aux étudiants, aux avocats et aux juges un exposé général et succinct des règles, toujours nuancées, de la preuve et de la procédure en droit criminel, tout en demeurant le plus complet possible. Le Traité expose ainsi de manière claire, concise et rigoureuse les règles et la jurisprudence récente en matière de preuve et de procédure pénales.Les auteurs y présentent les sources du droit canadien et les différentes composantes de notre système de justice criminelle et traitent des différentes phases de la procédure pénale." -- Site de l'éditeur

This article describes constitutional conventions, and the underlying principles of the Constitution assessed through structural analysis, as two interrelated components of Canada’s unwritten constitution. Whereas conventions and structural analysis differ in their relationship with the text of constitutional instruments, and in regard with their normative power, they perform similar functions in our constitutional order as they both seek to give effect to broad and enduring principles undergirding the organization of the state.
