Case Comment: Heller V. Uber Technologies Inc., Peter Quon
Case Comment: Heller V. Uber Technologies Inc., Peter Quon
Dalhousie Law Journal
Canadian courts have accepted mandatory arbitration clauses as presumptively enforceable unless there is legislation that precludes their application. This position was confirmed by the Supreme Court in Seidel v. TEL US CommunicationsInc. In Heller v. Uber Technologies Inc., the Ontario Court of Appeal considered an arbitration clause in the context of legislation following the approach in Seidel, but the Court also undertook an unconscionability analysis. Reviewing a motion that was granted to stay a class action proceeding in favour of an arbitration clause, the Court unanimously held that the clause was invalid on two separate grounds. First, the arbitration clause …
Incentive Effect Of Liability Rules In The Presence Of Liability Insurance In The Maritime Law Context: An Economic Analysis, Muhammad Masum Billah
Incentive Effect Of Liability Rules In The Presence Of Liability Insurance In The Maritime Law Context: An Economic Analysis, Muhammad Masum Billah
Dalhousie Law Journal
Incentive effect of liability law may be affected by the presence of liability insurance. Apparently when a party has liability insurance and does not have to pay directly from its own pocket, it will have less motivation to exercise proper care. This tendency of an insured is known as "moral hazard." There are many studies on the problem of "moral hazard" and on various mechanisms how to address it. Yet, there is a lack of academic discussion on comparative analysis between liability law and liability insurance in terms of their effect on creation of incentives; that is, whether liability law …
La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
Dalhousie Law Journal
Les Éditions Thémis publiaient en 1997 un livre intitulé La doctrine et l'interprétation du Code civil, par Me Sylvie Parent. Cette étude constitue le fruit de ses recherches et de sa réflection effectuées dans le cadre de ses travaux de maîtrise en droit à l'Université de Montreal; son directeur de thèse était le professeur Pieffe-André Côté, éminent auteur dans le domaine de l'interprétation des lois. C'est à ce dernier qu'est revenu l'honneur de rédiger la préface de cet ouvrage. Il n'a point hésité, à juste titre d'ailleurs, d'ajouter le nom de Me Parent à la liste d'auteurs contemporains ayant contribué, …
Law Reform Error: Retry Or Abort?, Audrey Macklin
Law Reform Error: Retry Or Abort?, Audrey Macklin
Dalhousie Law Journal
The void left by the demise of the Law Reform Commission of Canada (LRCC) in 1991 presents an opportunity to rethink the scope and legitimacy of law reform as it has been conceptualized and practised by academic lawyers. I am concerned that the dominant meaning ascribed to the term "federal law reform" under the tenure of the LRCC was partial, inadequate, and ultimately conservatizing in its influence. In reviewing past commentary on law reform in Canada, I have been struck by the recurring themes that emerged from the literature. I was particularly impressed by an exceptional piece written by the …

The Civil Law Of Quebec: Some Disjointed Notes For A Lecture, G. V. V. Nicholls
Dalhousie Law Journal
Quebec private law, though not the public law, can be regarded as a reasonably characteristic example of that system of law known as the Civil Law, one of the world's great legal systems; and you live in the province of Prince Edward Island and I of Nova Scotia, where another of the world's great systems flourishes, the Common Law - you will notice that I say "another", not "the other". It is right and proper that we should attempt to familiarize ourselves with at least one other system of law besides our own, not necessarily with the detailed rules, which …

Developments In Legal Education, Faculty Of Law, Civil Law Section, University Of Ottawa, Raymond A. Landry
Dalhousie Law Journal
The present Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa was inaugurated in 1953, although law had been taught at the Institution from 1887 to shortly before the First World War. This first venture in the teaching of the law was addressed to students both from Ontario and Quebec and the objective of the Faculty, at that time, was to teach both legal systems and to prepare students for the practice of law in both provinces. We will endeavour to present the developments in legal education from the perspective of the Civil Law Section although, unavoidably, the presence of the …
