« Trente ans après la publication de son premier article, l'auteur propose une analyse théorique, pratique et critique du droit des valeurs mobilières au Québec. Prenant appui sur ses écrits, notamment l'encadrement du secteur des valeurs mobilières par les provinces (Montréal, Éditions Thémis, 2012), l'auteur vise à combler une lacune dans la doctrine québécoise qui ne comporte pas de traité dans ce domaine depuis une quinzaine d’années. Le traité aborde la plupart des régimes du droit québécois des valeurs mobilières en faisant référence au droit anglo-canadien et en puisant dans l'ensemble de la doctrine et de la jurisprudence des provinces. Il aborde aussi les enjeux contemporains de ce domaine, tels que la place des facteurs environnementaux et sociaux dans le régime de divulgation. »-- Résumé de l'éditeur.

We are in the age of statutes; and it is indisputable that statutes are swallowing up the common law. Yet the study of statutes as a coherent whole is rare. In these three lectures, given as the 2017 Hamlyn Lecture series, Professor Andrew Burrows takes on the challenge of thinking seriously and at a practical level about statutes in English law. In his characteristically lively and punchy style, he examines three central aspects which he labels interpretation, interaction and improvement. So how are statutes interpreted? Is statutory interpretation best understood as seeking to effect the intention of Parliament or is that an unhelpful fiction? Can the common law be developed by analogy to statutes? Do the judges have too much power in developing the common law and in interpreting statutes? How can our statutes be improved? These and many other questions are explored and answered in this accessible and thought-provoking analysis

"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

"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
