What is the meaning of a contract law case in contract law?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Zeidler v. Campbell, 1988 CanLII 3473 (AB QB):
Field v. Bachynski was clearly a case in contract law and the interpretation of an agreement and the question of whether or not a trust was created is not addressed in any of the judgments.
Birks v. Birks (1983), 15 E.T.R. 208 (Que. CA), is cited by the respondent as authority for the proposition that even under the civil law of Quebec, the separation of voting rights and ownership of shares is permitted. I agree that the separation of voting rights and ownership of shares is permitted but it is only the ownership or title of shares conveyed to a trustee under the terms of the binding trust that creates a trust relationship.
