The Recent Expansion Of Fiduciary Obligation: Common Themes And Future Developments, John D. Mccamus Oct 2015

The Recent Expansion Of Fiduciary Obligation: Common Themes And Future Developments, John D. Mccamus

John D. McCamus

It may reasonably be asked, of course, whether the fiduciary concept is one which can bear this workload without sustaining a work-related injury of some sort. Although, as I shall suggest below, the extension of the concept to new and intriguingly different fact situations should not be a cause for alarm, there is some evidence in the case law that the concept is drifting away from its moorings from time to time. As it is the view of the author that this latter development does bring with it the risk of some confusion, and he proposes to draw attention to …

Recovery Of The Indirect Profits Of Wrongful Killing: The New Constructive Trust And The Olson Case, John D. Mccamus Oct 2015

Recovery Of The Indirect Profits Of Wrongful Killing: The New Constructive Trust And The Olson Case, John D. Mccamus

John D. McCamus

The decision of Trainor J. of the British Columbia Supreme Court in Rosenfeldt v. Olson (1984), 20 E.T.R. 133, is boldly innovative. Having murdered 11 children, Clifford Olson agreed to provide incriminating information concerning the remains of his victims to the R.C.M.P. in exchange for the payment of money into a trust held for the benefit of his wife and child. No doubt legal advisors on both sides of this transaction had some reason to believe that its structure would, or at least might, prevent the application of the general principle that a person who wrongfully kills another will not …

Mistaken Bids And Unilateral Mistaken Assumptions, A New Solution For An Old Problem?, John D. Mccamus Oct 2015

Mistaken Bids And Unilateral Mistaken Assumptions, A New Solution For An Old Problem?, John D. Mccamus

John D. McCamus

The “two-contract” analysis of the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Ron Engineering has created a very substantial obstacle to relief for mistaken bidders who discover calculation errors upon the opening of the bids. Nonetheless, Canadian courts are inclined to narrowly distinguish that analysis and grant relief in cases of extreme error in order to avoid unduly onerous penalties for mistaken bidders and large unearned windfalls for issuers of invitations to bid. This article argues that recent decisions of Canadian appellate courts articulating a rule which would excuse bidders where the burden imposed by the miscalculation is so grossly disproportionate …
