This article is a compilation of recent interesting and potentially influential decisions by Canadian courts. Of note also is a judgment by the House of Lords that appears to significantly restrain the applicability of Rylands v. Fletcher. The authors have surveyed case law development in such areas as contracts, lands, leases and titles, fiduciary duties, tax, the environment, torts, surface rights, governmental regulation, offshore drilling, creditors' rights and administrative law.
