The fourth edition of this established work is a systematic study of the law of sale of goods with reference to UK and Commonwealth authorities and relevant UK and EU legislation. The book combines depth of treatment of problem areas with insightful commentary on possible lines of argument on traditionally difficult topics. It provides full coverage of content, interpretation, and performance issues relating to sale of goods agreements. The book also addresses the relevant aspects of consumer law, as well as issues such as recoverability of damages, currency, and interest. The work has been updated in its fourth edition to cover all recent developments in case law, most notably The Supreme Court in PST Energy 7 Shipping LLC v OW Bunker Malta Ltd (The Res Cogitans) [2016] UKSC 23, which has given rise to a new category of contract: the sui generis supply contract, for which no statutory model yet exists. Also examined in depth is the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which has profoundly affected the structure of sales law and, in a number of key instances, has also affected the substance of the law. This work remains the leading work of scholarship and an invaluable reference for all practitioners and scholars working in the field

"Canadian securities law consists of an enduring core of fundamental principles that are refined, and sometimes shrouded, by a complex and constantly evolving body of technical details. This third edition, written by Christopher Nicholls — one of Canada’s foremost corporate and securities law experts — provides a solid grounding in the core securities law principles and helps the reader navigate the complex labyrinth of modern securities regulation. Securities Law surveys the essential building blocks of securities regulation: basic definitions, the public and exempt markets for securities, insider trading, continuous disclosure, enforcement, regulation of dealers and other securities industry professionals, and take-over and issuer bids. Discussion of these subjects is interwoven with thoughtful consideration of larger public policy issues. This book also explores the history of securities regulation and several recent topics, including, among others, the stalled initiatives aimed at trying to create a national cooperative capital market regulatory system in Canada; developments affecting dealers including the recent proposed consolidation of Canada’s two national securities industry self-regulatory organizations; impact of the 2021 Capital Markets Modernization Taskforce Report; changes introduced in Ontario by the Securities Commission Act, 2021; and the ongoing challenges posed by increasing shareholder activism and technological advances, including the regulatory challenges posed by cryptocurrencies and other digital assets."-- Provided by publisher.

« 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
