Chapter 1: Introduction (coming soon)


“This textbook made changes to the math for calculating pre and post judgement interest. I wanted to give you feedback and say that I got 100% on those calculations on my debtor creditor mid term and I found the breakdowns very helpful in understanding how to do the math (this is coming from someone who has math phobia!!).”

—Safa, Law Clerk Student at Seneca College




“Kudos to the authors—this is a tough area of law and they have done a good job making it accessible to the students.”

—Ardel Johnston,Georgian College
