« L'ouvrage a pour objectif de présenter le droit des biens de manière succincte. Les différents types de rapports susceptibles d'être exercés par les personnes sur les biens y sont décrits. L'exposé insiste sur l'explication des notions fondamentales et sur la présentation des régimes juridiques auxquels sont assujetties les diverses institutions du droit positif québécois. Après les premiers chapitres consacrés aux notions de patrimoine, de droits réels et de droits personnels, de choses et de biens, le manuel traite de la propriété, de ses modalités (copropriété et propriété superficiaire) et de ses démembrements (usufruit et usage, emphytéose, servitudes, démembrements innommés). Il décrit ensuite le régime de la publicité foncière, puis s'arrête à l'étude des rapports de fait en droit des biens (possession et prescription acquisitive). La notion de patrimoine d'affectation est illustrée par la fiducie. Les règles régissant l'administration du bien d'autrui sont énoncées. Finalement, le régime particulier applicable au domaine public est présenté. Sylvio Normand est professeur à la Faculté de droit de l'Université Laval, où il enseigne le droit civil et l'histoire du droit. »--Quatrième de couverture

Good Judgment, based upon the author's experience as a lawyer, law professor, and judge, explores the role of the judge and the art of judging. Engaging with the American, English, and Commonwealth literature on the role of the judge in the common law tradition, Good Judgment addresses the following questions: What exactly do judges do? What is properly within their role and what falls outside? How do judges approach their decision-making task? In an attempt to explain and reconcile two fundamental features of judging, namely judicial choice and judicial discipline, this book explores the nature and extent of judicial choice in the common law legal tradition and the structural features of that tradition that control and constrain that element of choice. As Sharpe explains, the law does not always provide clear answers, and judges are often left with difficult choices to make, but the power of judicial choice is disciplined and constrained and judges are not free to decide cases according to their own personal sense of justice. Although Good Judgment is accessibly written to appeal to the non-specialist reader with an interest in the judicial process, it also tackles fundamental issues about the nature of law and the role of the judge and will be of particular interest to lawyers, judges, law students, and legal academics.

The Neill Law Lecture 2022
-
In recent years, property theorists have offered varying accounts as to what exactly ownership is, typically focusing on one or more key rights to the owned thing. However, most of these theories are articulated in the abstract and do not engage the jurisprudence. This article uses the jurisprudence concerning expropriation and adverse possession to show that Canadian courts have in fact developed their own definition of ownership-one that is not reflected in the property theory discourse. The author goes on to argue that this narrower definition of ownership-made up by the rights to exclude and to primary use-is preferable to those offered by the property theorists, as it better balances the competing interests of owners, non-owners and the state.
