The Cases, Materials, and Notes on Partnerships and Canadian Business Corporations 6th edition, remains the definitive source of the law relating to Partnerships and corporations. This edition provides a comprehensive update (including commentary) of statutory and common law changes affecting corporate law, shareholder rights, and remedies and director duties, including an in-depth discussion of the Supreme Court’s decision in the People and BCE series of cases. The text has also been retooled to be more concise while maintaining the level of depth necessary to provide a thorough understanding of the relevant principles and issues in corporate law and the law of Partnerships. Major issues covered include directors’ duties, the oppression remedy, shareholder activism.
This edition updates the materials so that they reflect the important case law and statutory and doctrinal developments that have occurred over the past five years since the last edition of this casebook was published. Central themes that continue to be important include: the extent to which directors’ fiduciary duties extend to stakeholders in the corporation other than shareholders; the courts’ use of the business judgment rule in reviewing directors’ decisions; the burgeoning personal liability of directors and officers, and the continued expansion of the scope and use of the oppression remedy.
