HALSBURY'S LAWS OF CANADA

Résumé du livre

"EQUITABLE REMEDIES: Equitable remedies include rescission, rectification, specific performance and injunctions. These remedies play an essential role in the common law, allowing courts to grant relief where legal remedies are unavailable. Because courts exercise equitable jurisdictions in civil, commercial and other proceedings, lawyers in all areas of practice need a firm understanding of these remedial doctrines. This title provides a detailed analysis of the nature and basis of equitable remedies, offering a practical guide for their use and application in a variety of contexts. ESTOPPEL: The doctrine of estoppel is used to hold parties to their promises or agreements, whether formal or informal. Estoppel applies to many different fields of law, both public and private. This authoritative title provides an extensive overview of the various types of estoppel, including estoppel by deed, estoppel by convention, estoppel by representation, promissory estoppel and proprietary estoppel. The title describes and analyzes each individual doctrine, summarizes its development, and sets out its current application in case law from a variety of jurisdictions" --Publisher's website.
