Expropriation

Résumé du livre

"EXPROPRIATION: While expropriation is carried out in the greater public interest, the potential for conflict and costly damages amongst those directly affected by these public projects is high. Today's expropriation practitioner must be savvy in all facets of the expropriation process, including negotiation, options for challenging the decision to expropriate and issues arising throughout the entire litigation process. The Halsbury's Expropriation title is an essential reference for those representing land owners facing possible expropriation and expropriating authorities seeking to acquire land. Unlike other texts with only a provincial focus, this national resource details the application and procedure of the Expropriation Act in each province and territory, as well as the title determinations, vesting of interests, possession, use of land and abandonments of expropriations and compensatory principles unique to the jurisdiction. EXTRADITION AND MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE: As globalization continues to melt borders around the world, extradition laws in Canada have become a vehicle for securing our nation and achieving positive diplomatic relations abroad. Extradition in Canada is governed by statute and by treaty law, resulting in a cross-section of criminal law, constitutional law, human rights law and public international law. Written by the pre-eminent expert in the field of extradition, the Halsbury's Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance title untangles the complex web of Canada's extradition regime and provides an indispensable guide to the balancing of rights and obligations in dealing with extradition requests and meeting legislative and treaty obligations, as well as a succinct overview of the mutual legal assistance regime on obtaining evidence for use abroad. FORESTRY: Forestry law deals with the governance, management and protection of forest resources in Canada, striving to strike a balance between forest preservation, the timber industry and reforestation initiatives. The Halsbury's Forestry title provides practitioners with the necessary guidance to determine the authority responsible for administering forest lands, to navigate the applicable federal, provincial or territorial regime, and to manage and harvest the forest resources on those lands." --Publisher's website.
