Oil and Gas
Michael A. Thackray, Q.C.

The energy sector continues to be perhaps the major influence on both Canadian economic growth and national policy. From a legal perspective, the law governing oil and gas is diverse, and drawn from a wide variety of traditional legal disciplines, including torts, administrative law, contracts, securities, trusts, environmental law, commercial law, criminal law, and real property law.

Written by one of Canada's most respected energy sector lawyers, the title Oil and Gas provides a concise, organized and informed narrative of the law that governs the ownership of, access to, and extraction of oil and natural gas in Canada. Topics covered include:

The types, nature and contents of leases
Operating procedures for joint ownership of resources
Gross royalty trusts
Federal and provincial agencies that regulate the sector
Provincial licence transfer requirements
Claims in negligence and nuisance
Surface rights
Purchase and sale of oil and gas interests
Titles to land
Royalties

Partnerships
Maurice Coombs

Apart from sole proprietorship, partnership is likely the oldest form of business organization known to the common law, and one of the most pervasive. Originally developing out of the law of contracts it is an independent body of law that has a life and development of its own. The law of partnerships in Canada represents a classic example of judge-made law, for the most part distilled and illuminated but not codified by statute. It continues to be developed by decisions of our courts made in the context of the relevant partnership legislation.

The title Partnerships provides a clear explanation of the law that governs for-profit, non-corporate business organizations in Canada. Topics covered include:

The legal framework
The law governing sole proprietorships
Creation and duration of partnerships
Relations between partners and third persons
Relations between partners
Legal proceedings involving partners
Dissolution of partnerships
Limited partnerships
Limited liability partnerships
Joint ventures
