Book excerpt: This chapter provides a brief history of Canada's corporate law. In part, it contemplates the judicial interpretations of the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA), and the controversies that arose from them. From this, it explains two claims that are often made about the CBCA. Some assert that it is more shareholder centric than the American models, while others assert the opposite: that it is more stakeholder centric. The chapter concludes that although both of these interpretations of the CBCA are reasonable from a gloss of the law, the reality of corporate governance in Canada is that managers, not shareholders nor stakeholders, have firm control over the corporation.Part 1 begins with an explanation of Canada's first common law corporation. Part 2 traces the struggle to establish a single standard for incorporation (i.e., incorporation by registration). Part 3 describes the relatively slow rise of Canada's Modern Corporation as compared to the modern corporation's rapid ascent in the United States. Part 4 explains the rise of the Canadian Welfare State, while Part 5 makes clear how the Welfare State helped cement strong shareholder protections in the CBCA. Part 5 also details the period of the late 1960s to the mid 1970s, which marked the establishment of Canada's Modern Corporation. Part 6 traces the most controversial judicial interpretations of the CBCA's directorial provisions, as well as the most notable reactions to those interpretations. Finally, Part 7 offers some concluding thoughts about corporate governance in Canada today.
Download or read book A History of Law in Canada Volume One written by Philip Girard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Law in Canada is an important three-volume project. Volume One begins at a time just prior to European contact and continues to the 1860s, Volume Two covers the half century after Confederation, and Volume Three covers the period from the beginning of the First World War to 1982, with a postscript taking the account to approximately 2000. The history of law includes substantive law, legal institutions, legal actors, and legal culture. The authors assume that since 1500 there have been three legal systems in Canada – the Indigenous, the French, and the English. At all times, these systems have co-existed and interacted, with the relative power and influence of each being more or less dominant in different periods. The history of law cannot be treated in isolation, and this book examines law as a dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long term. The law guided and was guided by economic developments, was influenced and moulded by the nature and trajectory of political ideas and institutions, and variously exacerbated or mediated intercultural exchange and conflict. These themes are apparent in this examination, and through most areas of law including land settlement and tenure, and family, commercial, constitutional, and criminal law.
