About Not So Common Law
We are going to explore the historical and social background of some of the intriguing, interesting and important legal cases which have had lasting impact on our society and affect our lives today. Each month we will have a presentation about some of these famous and fascinating cases, plus the opportunity to discuss legal current affairs. Legal issues and law cases will be based on current events and participants ’ interests. Some of our upcoming topics are:
- What are your “Constitutional Rights”? Canada’s Constitution and remedies for infringement of an individual’s constitutional rights
- Civil Rights. Canadian Law on the subject of racism and discrimination
- You can’t fight City Hall!”. Actually you can. Legal actions against the Crown and governments
- What you don’t know about being a tenant or being a landlord
- Upcoming changes to the law regarding Medical Assistance in Dying [MAID]
Duty of Honesty in Contracts In a series of recent decisions the Supreme Court of Canada has upended Canadian common law by articulating a new overarching principle of good faith performance within contract law which requires that contracting parties generally must perform their contractual duties honestly and reasonably and not capriciously or arbitrarily. In doing so the SCC has imposed a new duty of honesty in contractual performance that requires all contracting parties to act honestly toward each other in performing the contract. Wait. What?! Does this mean that there wasn’t a duty to act honestly in making and performing contracts before? That the law permitted contracting parties to lie or intentionally mislead each other regarding the performance of their contract? Find out at the next session of Not So Common Law.
