br., (couv. passée), intérieur très frais « À travers les neuf textes qu’il contient, le présent collectif propose une introduction au droit des affaires canadien. Mais, d’entrée de jeu, une question se pose dont on se doute déjà que la réponse ne se laisse pas facilement saisir : qu’est ce que le droit des affaires? Domaine difficile à circonscrire, s’il en est, le droit des affaires, selon une conception générale, englobe toutes les branches du droit privé et du droit public qui régissent les activités des gens d’affaires. Selon une conception plus restreinte, cette notion relève du droit privé et encadre l’ensemble des activités de production et de distribution de biens et de services. Même au regard de cette seconde conception, force est de constater que toute personne abordant le droit des affaires sera nécessairement confrontée à l’étendue particulièrement vaste d’un domaine « protéiformé » par une variété peu commune de régimes juridiques. En soi, l’étude même du droit des affaires constitue donc un défi, lequel est magnifié par les caractéristiques propres à cette branche du droit. D’abord destiné aux étudiants et aux étudiantes, ce volume s’adresse également aux juristes étrangers qui s’intéressent au droit des affaires canadien. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, il vise à permettre l’acquisition d’une bonne connaissance des règles qui encadrent les activités de production et de distribution de biens et services, dans une perspective nationale et internationale, de manière à donner au lecteur des repères fondamentaux. » (4e de couv.)
