"The book introduces and describes the principal characteristics of the Canadian constitution, including Canada's institutional structure and the principal drivers of Canadian constitutional development. The constitution is set in its historical context, noting especially the complex interaction of national and regional societies that continues to shape the constitution of Canada. The book argues that aspects of the constitution are best understood in 'agonistic' terms, as the product of a continuing encounter or negotiation, with each of the contending interpretations rooted in significantly different visions of the relationship among peoples and societies in Canada. It suggests how these agonistic relationships have, in complex ways, found expression in distinctive doctrines of Canadian constitutional law and how these doctrines represent approaches to constitutional legality that may be more widely applicable. As such, the book charts the Canadian expression of trans-societal constitutional themes: democracy; parliamentarism; the rule of law; federalism; human rights; and Indigenous rights, and describes the country that has resulted from the interplay of these themes"-- 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.

« Cette nouvelle édition représente une continuité du travail commencé avec les éditions précédentes. Elle subit cependant d'importantes modifications par rapport à celle qui la précédait, et ce en raison d'une restructuration des textes qui tiennent compte des nouveaux développements concernant des sujets d'actualité et qui reviennent souvent devant les tribunaux. Les juristes peuvent facilement constater que le nombre de pages, de paragraphes et de références a considérablement augmenté. Ces modifications sont dues non seulement à l'intégration de nouveaux jugements, mais aussi à certaines critiques et aux idées exprimées. Cet ouvrage regroupe donc dans le même chapitre les diverses interprétations et applications que la jurisprudence et la doctrine donnent à chacune des dispositions législatives en matière des obligations. Ce faisant, l'ouvrage établit un lien entre le droit substantiel et le droit procédural ce qui permet aux praticiens d'y trouver ce dont ils ont besoin pour non seulement monter leurs dossiers, mais aussi d'être bien averti de toutes les problématiques pouvant surgir quant à l'interprétation et l'application des dispositions en question. Il offre une facilité d'accès aux règles permettant aux praticiens de trouver aussi des conseils aidant à s'orienter vers une solution appropriée. Enfin, il établit une connexité entre le droit des obligations et des règles applicables, notamment en matière de contrats, de suretés, de droit commercial, de droit du travail et de droit matrimonial. »-- Site Web de l'éditeur

"Cognizant of the growing and persistent systemic flaws found in the military justice system as exposed by several official reports, as well as the cultural issues plaguing our military as recently reported by Canadian media, we are convinced of the urgent need to reinforce its trustworthiness, independence, and fairness. Recently, the military has faced an unprecedented crumbling of the organization as we know it, and the deep-rooted, systemic issues within the Canadian Armed Forces [CAF] are starting to be exposed to the civilian world."--Website

As the Canadian Judicial Council marks its 50th anniversary of service to Canadians, it is timely that we have revised and modernized Ethical Principles for Judges. From their first publication in 1998, these principles have laid out the ethical frame of reference to which all judges aspire: judicial independence, integrity and respect, diligence and competence, equality and impartiality

'The Law of Loyalty' elucidates common legal principles underlying the use of juridical powers. It addresses both public law and private law, and examines both the common law and the civil law. It provides a theory of how Western law regulates the situations in which we hold legal powers, not for ourselves, but for and on behalf of others.
