PREFACE TO THE TWELFTH EDITION
The 12th Edition of Contemporary Canadian Business Law has been revised and updated and now marks almost 40 years of providing students with a clear understanding of the legal environment for business professionals, owners and managers in Canada.
Topic Organization for 12th Edition
The purpose this Instructor’s Manual is to assist Instructors in their lecture preparation and to provide source material for case problems and class case analysis. The comments on each chapter are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather, to highlight those areas of the law that are important, or that appear to cause students the most difficulty. The comments on the case problems represent suggested approaches to case analysis and the judicial decisions, which may be useful in dealing with the issues raised in the problems.
The Instructor’s Manual represents the efforts of not only the authors, but also of Carol Willes, LLM, MBA, TEP, Barrister & Solicitor, who ably assisted in the update of existing questions, the addition of new ones, and selected many of the feature articles and questions forming the Front Page Law feature for the text, also appearing on Connect.
While we have attempted to present the text material as simply and accurately as possible, we would encourage the users of the text and this Instructor’s Manual to bring to our attention any errors or suggestions for improvement of either or both of the publications.

General Comments
The Twelfth Edition of Contemporary Canadian Business Law may be used as a text in either full (two-term) or single semester courses in business law. The material contained in the text covers most areas of the law that affect business organizations, and the topics may be selected in a variety of different ways to fit the needs of instructors teaching a broad range of courses. The text material should prove adequate for a typical post-secondary course of 24 - 30 weeks duration. For a shorter, introductory course of 12 - 14 weeks, the first part of the text containing Chapters 1 - 14 would provide an introduction to the law and the legal system, and the constitution, together with an examination of tort law and the law of contracts, the two major areas of the Common Law. These chapters could be supplemented by Agency, Partnerships, Corporation law and Securities Legislation (Chapters 15 - 18) or by topics from the remainder of the text, as desired.
