Contemporary Canadian Business Law : Principles and Cases

by John A. Willes

Continuing a 30 year tradition, Contemporary Canadian Business Law , provides students with a clear understanding of the legal environment for business professionals, owners and managers in Canada. The objective of Contemporary Canadian Business Law is to inform and educate business law students who will need to identify when legal advice may be required. Students taking undergraduate business law courses are unlikely to become lawyers and are more interested in applying the principles to situations commonly found in the contemporary business world. Instructors look for a text which speaks to their students as business students rather than as potential law students.

Contemporary Canadian Business Law takes a learning goals approach to the law. A range of pedagogical tools are available to students to add clarity in development and explanation, scope, depth, interest and debate on the application of legal principles and rules to business problems.

[Masatoshi Nishimura · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is full of examples. They are quite neutral (no political ideology) therefore tough to think through the issue. I particularly liked that the book made sure to point if the Canaidan deviates that of American. For example, while patent system started as a way to protect monopoly business in UK in order to attract foreign merchants, American gives it as a negotiation representing both the public welfare and the inventor's interest. Canada sits somewhere in the middle. That's a nice historical context to have as intro to law.
