COMMUNICATIONS LAW
This area of law is almost entirely federal in scope and deals with telecommunications, broad-
casting, and matters related to print media as well. Related topics: ADVERTISING LAW, COM-
MERCIAL LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, COPYRIGHT, ENTERTAINMENT & SPORTS
LAW, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW, PRIVACY LAW & ACCESS TO INFORMATION.
COMMUNICATIONS (DROIT DES)
Vaste domaine relativement peu développé qui couvre les moyens de communication (radio,
télévision, téléphone, presse écrite), les entreprises qui les possèdent, leurs activités et le conte-
nu qu’ils véhiculent. Domaine maintenant presque exclusivement de compétence fédérale, sauf
certains aspects complémentaires (par ex. responsabilité des journalistes, etc.). Les aspects de
censure sont traités par le biais des libertés d’expression et d’information prévues aux chartes
des droits. Certains aspects relèvent du domaine CRIMINEL (libelle, méfait, propagande hai-
neuse, etc.), d’autres touchent aux aspects civils de la protection de la vie privée (personnes
(droit des) ; ACCÈS À L’INFORMATION).
