I did post in April 2003 about Mack v. Canada, the Chinese Head Tax case. The plaintiffs lost in the Ont CA and there was a conference at the U of Toronto Faculty of Law regarding the issues raised by the litigation. In addition to the paper mentioned above, Mayo Moran, Dennis Klimchuk and I presented papers relating the litigation to the logic of private law unjust enrichment. Other papers dealt with the rule of law aspects of historical injustice, patterns of racism in Canadian society, and (like the Sebok paper) reparations litigation more generally. There is already a large literature about reparations litigation in the US. A few weeks after the conference, the SCC denied leave to appeal in the litigation.

I think that Anthony Sebok might have jumped the gun a little bit with the SSRN posting, because I have not yet seen a proof of my paper, and the book is not yet listed on the U of T Press web site as far as I can tell.
