"L'obligation est l'instrument juridique élémentaire des rapports entre les personnes. Le droit des obligations est donc la colonne vertébrale du droit privé. Les trois parties de l'ouvrage (responsabilité extracontractuelle, contrats et quasi-contrats, régime général de l'obligation) exposent le droit positif actuel et les ferments de son évolution : influences étrangères et unification européenne, protection du consommateur, rôle du juge à l'égard du contrat, développement de l'unilatéralisme. L'ouvrage veut allier la précision des références à l'ouverture aux questions humaines. Cette onzième édition expose en particulier la réforme du droit des contrats et des obligations issue de l'ordonnance du 10 février 2016, telle que ratifiée par la loi du 20 avril 2018 : avant-contrats, offre, acceptation, contenu, cession de contrat, sanctions de l'inexécution, révision pour imprévision, effet relatif, nullité, cession de créance, de dette. L'ouvrage en rend compte, avec les débats et critiques qu'elle a suscités. Est aussi analysée l'évolution de la jurisprudence, toujours foisonnante, en matière de responsabilité civile. La crise sanitaire qui s'est abattue sur le monde en février 2020 a profondément éprouvé les contrats, car elle a ruiné les prévisions des parties ; elle a mis à l'épreuve le droit qui les régit, dans certaines de ses institutions, classiques (la force majeure) ou plus récentes (renégociation, révision pour imprévision, caducité). Les premières réponses jurisprudentielles montrent la résistance des principes classiques, invitant les parties à adopter des clauses anticipant ces risques, alors que d'autres crises s'annoncent. En matière de responsabilité civile, cette édition synthétise aussi l'évolution de la jurisprudence, toujours foisonnante en l'attente d'une éventuelle réforme législative. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants ainsi qu'à tous ceux - professionnels, universitaires qui sont soucieux de connaître et surtout de comprendre cette branche du droit."--Page 4 de la couverture

"Administrative Law in Context, 4th Edition continues this title's approach to administrative law in the important contexts that shape legal ideas and doctrines in this field. It examines key principles and cases by leveraging the distinct voices of leading scholars and instructors from across Canada including an analysis of the recent Vavilov trilogy of cases from the Supreme Court of Canada and their significant affect on how judicial reviews of administrative decisions are now conducted in Canada. This detailed, collaborative analysis gives students a better sense of how administrative boards and tribunals work in practice and differentiates itself from Admin8 by using a contemporary experiential pedagogy that employs increased commentary and discussion."-- Provided by publisher.

TERMINOLOGY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK Three categories of international rules may govern letters of credit: * The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credit, 2007 Revision, ICC Publication 600 (UCP), which were prepared by the International Chamber of Commerce; * The International Standby Practices ISP98, 1998, ICC Publication 590 (ISP98), which were prepared by experts in the United States and subsequently endorsed by the International Chamber of Commerce; * The Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, 2010 Revision, ICC Publication 758 (URDG), which were prepared by the International Chamber of Commerce. By contrast, a standby letter of credit is generally an undertaking to pay the purpose (but not the legal nature) of which is similar to a guarantee:2 for example, the issuing bank will undertake to make a payment to the beneficiary upon presentation of a demand by the beneficiary stating that the applicant is in default to perform its obligations under a certain contract. [...]letters of credit are frequently used in purely domestic transactions. The leading Canadian case in the area of letters of credit is the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Bank of Nova Scotia v. Angelica-Whitewear Ltd. and Angelica Corporation3 (AngelicaWhitewear).

This article examines “undefined” terms (art. 1512 CCQ), an oft-neglected topic in contract law. By leveraging judicial precedent concerning its application, the article identifies conditions for its application and proposes a structured analysis to help courts fix an appropriate term. The proposed analysis will also help to distinguish undefined terms from uncertain terms (art. 1510 CCQ), in the hopes of helping put an end to uncertainties.

Roberts & Zuckerman's Criminal Evidence gives an authoritative commentary on the fundamental principles and underlying logic of criminal evidence laws. It also tackles the foundations of principles for a fair trial, the presumption of innocence, the privilege against self-incrimination, and bad character evidence while engaging with the broader jurisprudential, moral, and political significance of evidence rules. Major doctrinal developments on evidence changes and cases are addressed such as cases relating to confession evidence, torture evidence, reverse onus clauses, confrontation, hearsay, previous sexual history, and bad character evidence. The title also includes the forensic applications of inductive logic, narrative, and probability.

"The tax dispute resolution system in Canada is in need of reform. Despite the best intentions of stakeholders, it remains inefficient, expensive, and fragmented, especially in relation to significant and complex disputes. Although much public policy discussion has been devoted to substantive elements of the Canadian tax system, relatively little debate and scholarship has tackled the largely antiquated process for resolving tax disputes. This book is intended to spark a dialogue about the need for change and outline the path forward."-- Provided by publisher

"Dedicated to Peter Hogg, Principles of Canadian Income Tax Law, 10th Edition elucidates Canadian income tax law in simple, concise, and non-technical language. The book encourages us to think deeply and critically about the important role of income tax in Canadian society.It emphasizes the principles of income tax law, the policies that influence and underlie the system, and its major features and context. The book upholds tax law as a rational system contributing to Canadas socio-economic fabric.

"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
