Description

Details

The Law of Declaratory Judgments 5th Edition is an authoritative review and study of declaratory judgments in Canada, a unique reference and guide to what declaratory judgments are, and when and how they can and should be used.

Previous editions have been cited by the courts in major cases dealing with the subject, multiple times by the Supreme Court of Canada and the provincial Courts of Appeal. Author Lazar Sarna has been recognized in the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers in Canada for his high caliber work in Corporate and Commercial Litigation as well as Corporate Law.

The analysis of the subject matter in this book includes reference to historical origins, procedural requirements, jurisdictional framework, and application of the declaratory judgment in the determination of issues in constitutional, administrative, municipal, labour, contractual, and estate law. Along with an overview of the Canadian law, the author gives special attention to the experience of Quebec courts in the matter of declaratory relief.

In addition to analyses and discussions of the substantive law, The Law of Declaratory Judgments 5th Edition also addresses the practical aspects of the law through forms of precedents. Dealing with an area of law where there is little current, available commentary, this is an indispensable resource providing readers with the tools necessary to understand this complex area of law from both a theoretical and practical point of view./p>
