"International criminal law has focused on the prosecution of truly international crimes--genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. The emerging field of transnational criminal law reflects the fact that our post-Cold War, post-9/11 world has seen the growth of transnational crimes of international concern, such as terrorism, money laundering, organized crime, and human and narcotics trafficking, as well as transnational crimes of domestic concern, which are simply ordinary domestic crimes that involve the jurisdiction of more than one state. This book surveys these two related but increasingly distinct fields with a focus on Canada, bringing together in one accessible text topics that are of increasing importance in a world of globalized crime, from a substantive perspective and through examination of the expanding range of international tribunals dealing with such crimes. This third edition updates caselaw and international practice from Canada, including substantial revisions relating to the prosecution of cross-border crimes. It also combines examinations of international courts and tribunals, transnational criminal law treaties, and recent literature to provide a unique perspective on these two international law disciplines that, while best viewed as separate, retain a common heritage and some overlapping concepts and applications."-- Provided by publisher.

"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

In this revised ninth edition, Brooks continues to explore the characteristics and controversies associated with Canadian politics.

"Combining socio-legal and ethnohistorical studies, this book presents the history of doodem, or clan identification markings, left by Anishinaabe on treaties and other legal documents from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. These doodems reflected fundamental principles behind Anishinaabe governance that were often ignored by Europeans, who referred to Indigenous polities in terms of tribe, nation, band, or village - classifications that failed to fully encompass longstanding cultural traditions of political authority within Anishinaabe society. Making creative use of natural history, treaty pictographs, and the Ojibwe language as an analytical tool, Doodem and Council Fire delivers groundbreaking insights into Anishinaabe law. The author asks not only what these doodem markings indicate, but what they may also reveal through their exclusions. The book also outlines the continuities, changes, and innovations in Anishinaabe governance through the concept of council fires and the alliances between them. Original and path-breaking, Doodem and Council Fire offers a fresh approach to Indigenous history, presenting a new interpretation grounded in a deep understanding of the nuances and distinctiveness of Anishinaabe culture and Indigenous traditions."-- Provided by publisher.

« L'ouvrage a pour objectif de présenter le droit des biens de manière succincte. Les différents types de rapports susceptibles d'être exercés par les personnes sur les biens y sont décrits. L'exposé insiste sur l'explication des notions fondamentales et sur la présentation des régimes juridiques auxquels sont assujetties les diverses institutions du droit positif québécois. Après les premiers chapitres consacrés aux notions de patrimoine, de droits réels et de droits personnels, de choses et de biens, le manuel traite de la propriété, de ses modalités (copropriété et propriété superficiaire) et de ses démembrements (usufruit et usage, emphytéose, servitudes, démembrements innommés). Il décrit ensuite le régime de la publicité foncière, puis s'arrête à l'étude des rapports de fait en droit des biens (possession et prescription acquisitive). La notion de patrimoine d'affectation est illustrée par la fiducie. Les règles régissant l'administration du bien d'autrui sont énoncées. Finalement, le régime particulier applicable au domaine public est présenté. Sylvio Normand est professeur à la Faculté de droit de l'Université Laval, où il enseigne le droit civil et l'histoire du droit. »--Quatrième de couverture
