Antitrust Law: An Analysis of Antitrust Principles and Their Application

Thu, 14 May 2009 08:35:33 GMT

The authority of Antitrust Law is second to none. It has been cited more than 50 times by both the Supreme Court and FTC and more than 1,000 times by the federal courts. Most recently it was cited by the Supreme Court in Pacific Bell v LinkLine Communications.

It includes real-world examples and in-depth examination of thousands of cases.

Wed, 20 May 2009 08:37:21 GMT

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Energy Law

Thu, 21 May 2009 14:30:09 GMT

The complex law surrounding energy production and the exploitation of natural resources has reached the legal foreground both nationally and internationally. Numerous countries have enacted new legislation in recent years concerning nuclear power generation, the use of non-renewable resources, transportation of hazardous materials and other issues raised by energy production processes.

Other branches of law have inevitably become bound up with energy law, making it difficult for the legal practitioner to gain a clear appreciation of the entire field, especially in a transnational context.

Each national monograph in this book contains a general introduction, a description of the country's energy legislation, an overview of the basic principles of energy law, the historical background, the role of governmental institutions and the sources of energy law in that country's legal system. Each country's regulatory framework concerning electricity, gas, petrol and coal is fully set forth.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Family and Succession Law

Tue, 19 May 2009 10:16:22 GMT

Family and succession law are tightly bound together. Succession law is usually based on kindred relationships as established by family law. The trends established in the marital property laws and succession laws are often a result of developments in family law.

Therefore, this comprehensive comparative looseleaf set covers family law together with marital property law and succession law. In addition to the national monographs this subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws currently includes a monograph for the European Union.

This set is primarily intended for judges, notaries, lawyers and registrars of civil status who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result of applicable international private law.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Intergovernmental Organizations

Wed, 20 May 2009 08:40:08 GMT

The world is getting smaller and increasingly interdependent every day. As a result, national and regional developments are, as a matter of necessity, seen in a global framework. States want to preserve their independence but they are confronted with a growing list of problems which they can only solve in co-operation with others. The sheer scale of the issues at stake calls for an institutional framework to give that co-operation a more permanent structure.

It is therefore appropriate in the framework of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws to make accessible comprehensive, substantial and readily available information on the most important intergovernmental organizations, given their importance for the development of international law and intergovernmental co-operation in general. The fundamental changes taking place nowadays at an incredible pace within IGOs render it all the more necessary to put this information within easy reach. Some 55 leading organizations will be described in separate monographs of approximately 150 pages each.

Defending Class Actions in Canada is aimed at businesses that may become defendants in class action suits in Canada and the lawyers who defend them. Companies doing business in this country now have an intense interest in the proliferation of class actions and the risks posed by that development to their operations.

In addition to providing suggestions as to how businesses might minimize their exposure to such actions, the authors offer strategic advice on how to achieve a positive outcome when sued. Because of McCarthy Tétrault's strong litigation presence in the three major Canadian centres where class action law in Canada has developed, this book enjoys a truly national approach to this subject.

Directors' Duties in Canada, 4th Edition

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:44:54 GMT

There has never been a more exciting, or challenging, time to be a director of a corporation. Expectations are high, the operating environment is constantly changing and directors' actions (and inaction) are subject to regulation, observation, and comment from various interested constituencies. Colossal failures have resulted in greater scrutiny that has led to increased accountability and a heightened focus on corporate leadership and transparency in decision-making and financial-reporting processes. Complex and demanding stakeholder expectations apply to directors, officers, and their advisers.

Directors' Duties in Canada provides guidance to directors, and those who advise them, about these expectations and the requirements and best practices that will help directors meet them. The book provides information and techniques that these people can use to protect themselves from potential liability and reputational damage.
