Compensation of Crime Victims
Sheila Nemet-BrownB.A. (Hons.), LL.B.

Increasingly, the criminal law does more than just strive to punish criminals. There is a growing recognition that victims of crimes have rights within, and expectations of, the criminal justice system, and that they have both an entitlement to participate in the punishment of their assailant and entitlement to financial compensation in certain circumstances. Compensation of Crime Victims discusses the important rights of victims of crime as delineated in federal and provincial legislation. Topics covered include: enforceability of rights; specific rights such as courtesy, information, privacy and redress for harm suffered, and the right to be heard; entitlement to financial compensation; offences permitting compensation; and administration and funding of victims services.

Competition and Foreign Investment
Tamra Alexander, B.A. (Hons), LL.B., LL.M. (McGill)

Fair competition is at the centre of commercial activity, which in turn has profound impact on the clients of law firms both large and small, in both civil and criminal contexts. As a result, an understanding of the important framework of legislation and common law rulings that govern competition and foreign investment are essential for lawyers in all fields to have a working knowledge of.

Competition and Foreign Investment discusses the legal framework in Canada governing the creation and maintenance of competitive markets through the regulation of anti-competitive business practices, misleading information in the marketplace, mergers and foreign investment. Topics covered include:

Common law treatment of issues such as restraint of trade, intimidation, conspiracy, unlawful interference with economic interests;
Regulation of competition under the federal Competition Act;
Regulation of foreign investment under the Investment Canada Act.
