I would like to thank Derek Smith, Kim Cunnington-Taylor, and Thi-

erry Dor val for their assistance in reviewing drafts of chapters for t he

third edition of this book. I am also very grateful for the dedication and

hard work of the re search assi stants who helped me with thi s edition:

Adam Barker and Stephen Hug. Any errors, of course, remain my sole

responsibility.

I remain indebted to Anita An and, David Debenh am, Jeremy Farr,

Marc LeBlanc, Jeffrey MacIntosh, Douglas Scott, Derek Smith, Sean

Wise, and Jacob Ziegel, who were kind enough to rev iew chapters for

the f‌ir st and second editions and my research assistant s who worked

on the f‌irst two editions: Goldie Bassi, Jaqueline Yost, Arend Wakeford,

and Michael McGraw.

I gratefully acknowledge the support of the Common L aw 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 assi sted substanti ally by f‌inancial support from the Law

Foundation of Ontario for all three editions and, for the second edition,

from the Foundation for Legal Research.

Finally, I am ver y grateful to my wife, Jodie Karpf, without whose

constant indulgence and support this book would not have been possi-

ble, and my children, Taylor and Eli, who put up with their father’s too

frequent absences to work on this book, mostly without complaint.
