"In Canada since 1875, courts have been permitted to act as advisors alongside their ordinary, adjudicative role. This book offers the first detailed examination of that role from a legal perspective. When one thinks of courts, it is most often in the context of deciding cases: live disputes involving spirited, adversarial debate between opposing parties. Sometimes, though, a court is granted the power to answer questions in the absence of cases through a reference or advisory opinions. These proceedings raise many questions: about the judicial role, about the relationship between courts and those who seek their "advice", and about the nature of law. Tracking their use in Canada since the country's Confederation and looking to the experience in other legal systems, this book considers how reference opinions draw courts into the complex relationship between law and politics. Focusing on key themes such as the separation of powers, federalism, rights and precedent, this book provides an important and timely study of a fascinating phenomenon"-- Provided by publisher

"Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de permettre à tous de « fréquenter » le droit international privé et de ne plus voir en lui un spectre mais plutôt, comme nous le considérons, une matière passionnante. Sans jamais tomber dans la vulgarisation, nous avons essayé de présenter les concepts et les principes sous forme simple, parfois grâce à des schémas, afin de les rendre le plus accessibles possible. Nous nous sommes attardées à la façon dont le droit international privé fonctionne, plus qu'à son application dans des domaines spécifiques. Nous proposons au lecteur une boîte à outils grâce à laquelle, une fois les éléments maîtrisés, il devient moins ardu de déployer le raisonnement au service de tel ou tel problème."-- Site web de l'éditeur

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

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
