The purpose ofthis paper is to discuss recent developments in the law which are of interest to lawyers whose practice relates to the oil and gas industry. It deals with both judicial decisions and statutory developments during the last year. Many of the cases discussed do not pertain directly to the oil and gas industry. These cases have been included either because thev involve situations analogous to those which occur frequently in the oil and gas business or because they opplv principles of Ian which are applicable to that industry. In order to place some limit on the scope of the paper only federal and Alberta legislative developments are reported.
