CONTROLLED DRUGS AND CANNABIS
Alan D. Gold, B.Sc., LL.B.
Canada's Controlled Drug and Substances Act sets out a detailed listing of controlled drugs and substances, providing authorities with a broad set of powers related to search and seizure and other measures that may limit personal liberty. The implications extend into the areas of criminal law, health law, constitutional law, consumer safety and even real estate law. In October 2018, possession, consumption and other activities in relation to cannabis became legal, and federal, provincial and territorial legislation was enacted to regulate its quantities and requirements.
Halsbury's Laws of Canada – Controlled Drugs and Cannabis (2025 Reissue), written by one of Canada's pre-eminent criminal law practitioners and authors, provides an unparalleled summary of drug control and cannabis legislation in Canada. With respect to drug control, this title examines offences, punishment and enforcement. With respect to cannabis, this title examines legalization, production, cultivation, promotion, packaging, distribution, licensing, sale, possession, consumption, importing, exporting, enforcement of legislation, offences and penalties.
CROWN
Tom D. McKinlay, B.A. (Hons.), LL.B.
The Crown is involved in all aspects of the administration of justice, through statutes, regulations and policies. At both the federal and provincial levels, the Crown is the most frequent party involved in judicial proceedings in Canada. Legal practitioners in all areas must understand the unique rights and protections enjoyed by the Crown and its pivotal role in the justice system.
Halsbury's Laws of Canada – Crown (2025 Reissue) details the rights and responsibilities of the Crown, including Crown prerogatives and Crown immunity. It also examines financial administration, Crown liability, Crown contracts, Crown privilege, Crown proceedings, and Crown property, providing insight into the Crown’s dual role as advocate and protector of the public interest.
