Description

Debtor-Creditor Law and Procedure, 5th Edition moves away from the traditionally theoretical approach to debt collection to meet the specific needs of legal professionals. This text is rich with practical insights that accurately reflect and clearly outline the respective duties of paralegals and law clerks in both the Superior and small claims courts.

Processes and laws that surround debt collection are not only explained, but also supplemented with sample forms and other visuals to offer a comprehensive perspective. Additionally, the text provides a focus on legal work that students can expect to do in the future, such as completing procedures, drafting supporting documents, and performing calculations.

This text captures the numerous changes to the law since the previous edition, including updates regarding the Collection and Debt Settlement Services Act, electronic issuance and filing of various Small Claims Court documents, credit reports, electronic document registration in the Superior Court, and the Construction Lien Amendment Act, 2017.

As high amounts of consumer and other types of debt in Canada persist, this text remains highly relevant in today?s business and consumer world. Its unique focus on students in law clerk or paralegal programs makes this a must-have resource.
