ACK NOW LED GEM ENTS

I would like to thank Derek Smith for his assistance in reviewing a

draft of Chapter 13 for the fourth edition of this book, and John Weir,

who made some helpful suggestions for new material to include in this

edition. I am also very grateful for the dedication and hard work of the

research assistants who helped me with this edition: Cameron Draper-

Chislett and Fraser Massie. This edition benef‌itted substantially from

the careful and meticulous work of my main editor at Irwin Law, Alisa

Posesorski.

I remain indebted to Anita Anand, Kim Cunnington-Taylor, David

Debenham, Jeremy Farr, Marc LeBla nc, Jeffrey MacIntosh, Douglas Scott,

Derek Smith (again), Thierry Dorval, Sean Wise, and Jacob Ziegel, who

were kind enough to review chapters for the f‌irst, second, and third

editions; and my research assistants who worked on the f‌irst three edi-

tions: Adam Barker, Goldie Bassi, Stephen Hug, Michael McGraw, Arend

Wakeford, and Jaqueline Yost. Any errors, of course, remain my sole

responsibility.

I gratefully acknowledge the support of the Common Law Section

at the University of Ottawa; the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law

(where most of the f‌irst edition of this book was written); and Macleod

Dixon. I was assisted substantially by f‌inancial support from the Law

Foundation of Ontario for the f‌irst three editions, and for the second

edition, from the Foundation for Legal Research.
