| Summary |
This book offers a succinct and insightful discussion of the laws governing mergers and acquisitions transactions conducted in Canada. It draws on a collection of loosely related legal principles and rules in corporate law and securities law as well as in tax, competition, and a handful of other areas. Professor Nicholls, one of Canada's leading scholars in corporate law, provides a clear guide to this complex pastiche of legislation, regulation, administrative and judicial decision-making, and standard practices which have developed over time from both domestic and international precedents |
