The Law of Declaratory Judgments, Fourth Edition is an authoritative review and study of declaratory judgments in Canada, a unique reference and guide to what declaratory judgments are, and when and how they can and should be used.
The analysis of the subject includes reference to historical origins, procedural requirements, jurisdictional framework, and application of the declaratory judgment in the determination of issues in constitutional, administrative, municipal, labour, contractual, and estate law. Along with an overview of the Canadian law, the author gives special attention to the experience of Quebec courts in the matter of declaratory relief.
In addition to analyses and discussions of the substantive law, The Law of Declaratory Judgments, Fourth Edition also addresses the practical aspects of the law through provisions of precedents. Dealing with an area of law where there is so little current, available commentary, this is an indispensable resource providing practitioners, academics, researchers, and students with the tools necessary to understand this complex area of law from both a theoretical and practical point of view.

“Libraries that have previously purchased Sarnas text on declaratory judgments will want to purchase the latest edition, in order to ensure that their coverage of this topic is up-to-date. The law in this area has changed substantially since the third edition was published in 2007. Libraries serving civil litigators, constitutional law specialists, public interest lawyers or others interested in obtaining declaratory relief may find this to be a useful additional resource for their collections.”
