"L’assurance se retrouve partout dans la société canadienne. La santé, l’emploi, les transports, le commerce, l’industrie, les communications et l’éducation : tous les secteurs d’activité sont touchés par l’assurance. Qu’elle soit publique ou privée, obligatoire ou volontaire, l’assurance touche tout le monde, tous les jours : les adultes, les enfants, les autorités gouvernementales, les associations et les personnes morales. Nous exerçons des activités qui ne pourraient pas avoir lieu sans assurance. Nous prenons des risques qui ne pourraient pas être acceptés sans assurance. Nous effectuons des achats qui, si ce n’était de l’assurance, ne pourraient pas être justifiés. Nous exerçons des professions, exploitons des entreprises et entretenons des rapports avec autrui qui seraient trop coûteux en l’absence de l’assurance. Lorsqu’il y a des risques, l’assurance est nécessaire et il est impossible de vivre au 21e siècle sans courir de risques chaque jour. Le droit des assurances au Canada est un amalgame de lois fédérales, provinciales et territoriales, de règlements, de principes de common law et de coutumes. Cet ouvrage offre une analyse détaillée de ce cadre réglementaire en constante évolution. Rédigé en français dans une perspective de common law, son but est de rendre le droit des assurances accessible aux nombreux francophones et francophiles qui étudient et pratiquent le droit dans une juridiction autre que le Québec et d’offrir une base de comparaison aux juristes de tradition civiliste qui œuvrent dans ce domaine. Quoique l’ouvrage est pancanadien dans son approche générale, la seconde édition est axée sur quatre provinces : l’Ontario, le Nouveau-Brunswick, l’Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique. Il renferme des douzaines de nouveaux arrêts de la Cour suprême du Canada et des cours d’appels du pays, de même que des réformes législatives qui sont entrées en vigueur en 2012 en Alberta et en Colombie-Britannique et en 2016 en Ontario. Ensemble, ces développements renforcent de façon significative le cadre réglementaire qui protège les attentes raisonnables des personnes assurées et bénéficiaires de police." -- Page 4 de la couverture

Ever since the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in R. v. Corbett, the question of whether an accused's prior criminal convictions can be raised against him in cross-examination has depended heavily upon whether those convictions constitute "crimes of dishonesty", and whether defence counsel has attacked the credibility of a Crown witness. The conventional wisdom is that crimes of dishonesty are the most probative prior convictions and extremely useful in measuring a person's credibility on the witness stand. Consequently, they are almost always admissible. In the same vein, contesting the credibility of a Crown witness is also viewed as a touchstone of admissibility. Both propositions have been repeated often enough to have achieved untouchable status. In this article the author challenges this position, suggesting that a second look at both conclusions is warranted. While some crimes falling under the designation undoubtedly deserve to be regarded as probative, the dishonesty factor often acts as little more than a stamp of convenience for the judiciary, and incorrectly permits the admission of prior convictions in situations where exclusion is warranted. Although better grounded in principle, the "credibility contest" designation suffers from similar shortcomings, as it is overutilized and often misunderstood, leading to the risk of real prejudice to the accused.

Rees (Eds.), Controversies in the common law: tracing the contributions of Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin (p. 153). University of Toronto Press.

"Beverley McLachlin was the first woman to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. Joining the Court while it was establishing its approach to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, McLachlin aided the court in weathering the public backlash against controversial decisions during her tenure. Controversies in the Common Law explores Chief Justice McLachlin's approach to legal reasoning, examines her remarkable contributions in controversial areas of the common law, and highlights the role of judicial philosophy in shaping the law. Chapters in this book span thirty years, and deal with a variety of topics - including tort, unjust enrichment, administrative and criminal law. The contributors show that McLachlin had a philosophical streak that drove her to ensure unity and consistency in the common law, and to prefer incremental change over revolution. Celebrating the career of an influential jurist, Controversies in the Common Law demonstrates how the common law approach taken by Chief Justice McLachlin has been successful in managing criticism and ensuring the legitimacy of the Court."--

"In [this book the authors] examine the court-imposed territorial restrictions and other bail and sentencing conditions that are increasingly issued in the context of criminal proceedings. Drawing on extensive fieldwork with legal actors in the criminal justice system, as well as those who have been subjected to court surveillance, the authors demonstrate the devastating impact these restrictions have on the marginalized populations (the homeless, drug users, sex workers and protesters) who depend on public spaces. On a broader level, the authors show how red zones, unlike better publicized forms of spatial regulation such as legislation or policing strategies, create a form of legal territorialization that threatens to invert traditional expectations of justice and reshape our understanding of criminal law and punishment"--Publisher's website
