Suite aux modifications apportées en 2016 au régime canadien des offres publiques d’achat, certains conseils d’administration ciblés se tournent vers l’utilisation de placements privés lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à une offre hostile. Cela soulève des questions intéressantes de caractérisation : Quand les placements privés sont-ils considérés comme ayant un but légitime, par opposition à être examinés par les autorités de régulation des valeurs mobilières comme une tactique défensive inappropriée ? Dans cet article, la rédactrice éxecutive Cindy Lin fournit des orientations à ceux qui souhaitent savoir quand et comment les placements privés sont traités par les commissions.

Following the 2016 amendments to the Canadian takeover bid regime, some target boards have turned to the use of private placements when faced with a hostile bid. This gives rise to interesting questions of characterization: When are private placements seen as having a proper purpose, versus scrutinized by securities regulators as an improper defensive tactic? In this article, Executive Editor Cindy Lin provides guidance for those who are interested in knowing when and how private placements are dealt with by the commissions.

Federal administrative disputes touch on a broad cross-section of Canadian life, including issues of Aboriginal law, intellectual property, national security, and citizenship, immigration, and refugee law. While the Government of Canada and the Canadian judiciary both encourage private disputants to pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) outside of the courts, Senior Editor Michael O’Keefe argues that the federal government must continue to improve access to justice by investing in ADR mechanisms that can effectively and efficiently resolve administrative disputes to which the government itself is a party.

Les litiges administratifs fédéraux touchent un large éventail de la vie canadienne, y compris les questions de droit autochtone, de propriété intellectuelle, de sécurité nationale, de citoyenneté, d’immigration et de droit des réfugiés. Bien que le gouvernement du Canada et le système judiciaire canadien encouragent tous deux les parties privées à recourir à des modes alternatifs de règlement des différends (MARD) en dehors des tribunaux, le rédacteur en chef principal, Michael O’Keefe, soutient que le gouvernement fédéral doit continuer à améliorer l’accès à la justice en investissant dans des mécanismes de MARD qui peuvent résoudre de manière efficace et efficiente les litiges administratifs auxquels le gouvernement lui-même est partie.

This article examines the ways in which Indigenous resistance—past, present and future—has been defined by acts of authentic existence, critical to the preservation of Indigenous cultures and traditional knowledge. It suggests that, presently, this struggle is characterized by the defence of Indigenous lands, which are essential to Indigenous ways of being and knowing. Further, it explores how these acts of resistance have inspired collaborative international efforts to recognize Indigenous rights to sovereignty, self-determination, and jurisdiction.

With its decision in Annapolis Group Inc v Halifax Regional Municipality, the Supreme Court of Canada provided important guidance on the law of constructive takings, formerly known as the doctrine of de facto expropriation. Senior Editor Gordon Milne argues that the decision by a slim majority significantly lowers the standard for compensation where government action has the effect of interfering with property rights.

Halifax Regional Municipality, la Cour suprême du Canada a fourni des orientations importantes sur le droit des expropriations constructives, anciennement connu sous le nom de doctrine de l’expropriation de facto.
