Canadian Business Law: A British Columbia Perspective

Tamra Alexander, Pat Papadeas, Kenneth Thornicroft
Available

Canadian Business Law: A British Columbia Perspective provides a comprehensive overview of business law and operations, emphasizing a legal risk management perspective. Through British Columbia-specific resources and references, readers will gain a working knowledge of both Canada’s and British Columbia’s legal systems, as well as key concepts across multiple areas of law, including torts, contracts, consumer protection, employment, property, dispute resolution, and more.

A new recurring fact scenario is featured throughout the text to illustrate various legal issues and business practices, helping readers to engage more actively and effectively with different principles and concepts. By presenting business law through a more practical lens, this text helps readers build confidence in their ability to navigate real-world business situations and effectively minimize risk.

Chapter 6: FACILITATING BUSINESS

Update to page 184, Case In Point Box entitled “What Is An Unconscionable Bargain? Heller v Uber Technologies Inc.”:

On June 26, 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed Uber’s appeal. The SCC held that the arbitration provision, contained in a wholly one-sided contract of adhesion, was unconscionable and thus invalid. Accordingly, Mr. Heller’s proposed class action will now proceed in the Ontario courts (Uber Technologies Inc. v Heller, 2020 SCC 16).


CHAPTER 7: FORMS OF CARRYING ON BUSINESS

Update to pages 228-229, under the heading “Naming the Corporation,” with regard to NUANS searches:

Although a NUANS search is recommended in British Columbia, you are not required to submit a NUANS search as part of the filing requirements to incorporate a corporation in British Columbia (although it is required in the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, and when incorporating a federal corporation). However, a NUANS search should nonetheless be undertaken as a relatively low-cost preventative measure against a possible subsequent legal challenge (for example, trademark infringement) to the business name you have selected.


CHAPTER 11: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND BUSINESS LAW IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Update to page 383, under the heading “Length of Protection” for Copyright: Note that copyright protection has been extended from 50 years after death of author to 70 years after death of author.

The Copyright Act was amended by the Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1. Accordingly, effective December 30, 2022, a copyright will now be subsist (i.e., be in effect) for “the life of the author, the remainder of the calendar year in which the author dies, and a period of 70 years following the end of that calendar year.” The 70-year period also applies where there is joint authorship running from the death of the last surviving joint author. Works that were in the public domain as of December 30, 2022 continue to be “public domain” works, but the subsisting copyright protection period for any work that would have otherwise expired before the end of 2022 is now extended to December 31, 2042. The extension of the copyright period was enacted as part of Canada’s obligations under the 2020 North American free trade agreement (known as “CUSMA”).
