Vital Statistics
Derek Hill, B.Sc., LL.B., B.J.

Vital statistics are data collected by the registration of vital events, such as births, stillbirths, deaths, and marriages, and are increasingly relevant in our information age. This information is also an important tool to monitor population growth, serve as an important source of public health information, and may be used for methodological studies and survey sampling. Such information has also been critical in identifying, understanding and controlling communicable diseases. Halsbury's Vital Statistics title examines the law relating to the collection and registration of vital statistics by federal, provincial and territorial governments. Topics covered include:

• Births and stillbirths
• Adoptions
• Marriage
• Name changes
• Deaths
  
  Wildlife, Livestock and Pets
  Gavin Hole, B.Eng, J.D.
  
  While the ownership and protection of animals is affected by laws of general application, such as the law of property and the criminal law, legislation has also been enacted at all levels of government targeting the regulation of animals in their many different capacities. This title discusses both the diverse legislative framework and the common law principles that affect the treatment of wild and domestic animals in Canada, such as biodiversity protection, prevention of cruelty and the health of animals, pedigree, ownership and identification, and torts involving animals. Topics covered include:
  
  
• Protection of biodiversity
• Protection from cruelty against animals
• Health measures
• Pedigree
• Torts involving animals
  
  Features
  
  
• Enhanced contents
  • A general table of contents to the level of chapter headings
  • A detailed table of contents to the level of clause headings
  • Detailed sectional contents set out within the commentary for each chapter and section
• References and abbreviations - an alphabetical listing of special references and abbreviations used in the volume, with an explanation of their meaning
• Selected secondary sources - setting out selected texts, articles, and other secondary sources pertaining to the subject that the reader may find to be relevant and helpful
• Glossary of definitions - identifying words and phrases defined in the various rules of civil procedure across Canada, and providing the text of the definition in each jurisdiction for easy reference. A valuable "quick reference" in a field marked by a wide variety of statutes promulgated across many jurisdictions
