Predictable statutory interpretation helps ensure the reliable operation of contemporary systems of taxation. Tax liabilities that are not clearly expressed and articulated by legislatures lead to over-reliance on litigation as a means to enforce and clarify legislative intent. For this reason, modern legislatures continually amend and draft new tax provisions, reformulating existing rules and introducing new ones to address ever-changing social and economic environments. Moreover, legislatures also respond with amendments directed at judicial decisions with which they disagree, as well as the transactions and arrangements at issue in these cases. As these amended and new rules are then subject to …

Rédiger l’introduction d’un ouvrage sur une personne dont la présentation n’est plus à faire pose un certain dilemme. Dans l’univers du droit, Beverley McLachlin est considérée comme une légende vivante. Au sein des milieux juridiques particuliers du monde entier, la juge en chef du Canada, qui a récemment pris sa retraite, jouit d’une réputation inégalée. L’estime qu’elle y a gagnée vaut sa renommée. À plusieurs égards, sa carrière judiciaire n’a pas d’équivalent dans l’histoire du Canada. Ce ne serait pas lui rendre justice que de tenter, dans une brève introduction, d’en faire la synthèse ou, à plus forte raison, d’en …
