Home   Research Projects Federal Security Interests
The law regarding security interests in federally regulated industries is inadequate. Many complain that there is incoherence, uncertainty and difficulties in application of the different federal statutes that regulate particular industries. What could be done to remedy such uncertainty and incoherence, and what are the costs of not engaging in the reforms that have been proposed over the years are the preoccupations of the Law Commission of Canada. Two questions need particularly to be studied: first, how the federal system completes the provincial ones and second, whether uncertainty in the law has a practical impact and the nature of such impact.
The Law Commission of Canada is developing this research project in co-operation with the Commercial Law Strategy of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada. (URL: http://www.ulcc.ca/en/cls/index.cfm?sec=2)
Security Interests in Intellectual Property
The Law Commission has decided to focus on the intellectual property regime which presents particular challenges for investors since all experts agree that there is uncertainty in the interplay between the federal intellectual property statutes and provincial statutes dealing with registration of security interests in personal property.
