Canadian Corporate Law: Cases, Notes & Materials, 5th Edition provides a comprehensive, contextual analysis of the essential components of partnerships and corporations law to build a functional, working knowledge of the law pertaining to these business forms.

An accessible and authoritative casebook for the teaching of corporate law in all jurisdictions in Canada, this edition has been updated and reorganized by situating the fundamental elements of partnership and corporate law within the larger, paradigmatical debates over the legal roles and responsibilities of business in contemporary society.

Canadian Corporate Law: Cases, Notes & Materials, 5th Edition provides comprehensive treatment of foundational concepts that are critical to the operation of contemporary business organizations. These include extensive discussion of all forms of partnerships, agency principles, corporate criminal responsibility, corporate personality, managerial duties, and fiduciary duties applicable to general and limited partnerships and to corporate directors, officers, managers, and key employees.

This new edition includes more original commentary, enhanced discussion of partnerships and partnership fiduciary duties, corporate agency issues, and entirely new chapters providing for broader and more extensive coverage of corporate management’s duties, including the origins and contemporary implications of the business judgment rule, the corporate opportunity doctrine, and corporate management’s fiduciary duties.

What’s New In This Edition

  • Brand new chapter on Managers’ Fiduciary Obligations – dedicated to providing a comprehensive discussion and analysis of one of the most important and simultaneously difficult aspects of corporate law
  • Discussion of a number of aspects of Quebec civil law – particularly where it helps to elucidate Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence on corporate law
  • New introductory overview of sole proprietorships and partnerships relating to business association and their use – including a discussion on some of the distinctions between individuals’ legal and personal interests in operating a business
  • New cases relating to the Corporation as a Legal Person – tying together the conceptual idea of the corporation being a legal person in law and the real-world implications of that characterization
  • New cases relating to the authority of corporate agents – providing a greater reflection of the context and complexity that accompanies questions of when the actions of agents will bind the corporation, particularly when the agents do not possess the actual authority to engage in the actions under scrutiny
