Subject: ODG: Hogg s Liability of
the Crown
Dear
Colleagues:
Congratulations
go out to ODGer Erika Chamberlian and her co-authors Patrick Monahan and Wade
Wright on the publication of the fifth edition of Hogg s Liability of the
Crown (Thomson Reuters, 2024): https://store.thomsonreuters.ca/en-ca/products/liability-of-the-crown-5th-edition-hardbound-book-43310753,
the first new edition since 2011. For those unfamiliar with the work, it
contains discussions of Torts and Negligence, Contracts, Restitution, Trust, and
Expropriation, amongst others.
From the
blurb:
With the government assuming an important role
in most areas of economic and social life, issues relating to potential legal
liability for wrongful or negligent activity have taken on increasing
importance.
When things go wrong, whether it involves matters as diverse as problems with
the blood supply, with unsafe drinking water, or the failure of a major
financial institution, those who suffer loss inevitably look to whether their
losses can be traced back to government or regulatory failure.
Highlights of New Edition
Every
chapter has been carefully reviewed and comprehensively updated;
Includes
a discussion of the new Ontario Crown Liability and Proceedings
Act, 2019;
Includes
a new discussion of core policy immunity, drawing on the recent
decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Imperial Tobacco (2011)
and Nelson (City) v. Marchi (2021);
Includes
a revised discussion of compensation for expropriation, drawing on
the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Annapolis Group
v. Halifax Regional Municipality (2022);
Includes
a revised discussion of the Crown s sui generis fiduciary
obligation to Indigenous Peoples.
Happy
Reading,
