Synopsis

Excerpt from Practical Statutes: Being a Collection of Statutes of Practical Utility in Force in Ontario, With Notes on the Construction and Operation Thereof

The editors have taken those Statutes which, in the opinion of the directors of legal education in this province, are of most concern to the practising solicitor, and have attempted to collect the authorities construing them. Legislation 18 so replete that there are few subjects of concern which are not affected by some Statute. It may fairly be stated that a knowledge of the_ Statutes placed on the course of legal education will equip one with almost all practical knowledge requisite for daily practice.

The task of taking these Statutes and considering the many branches of legal science which they affect is not a light one. The editors will be satisfied if the profession will find that the system adopted is simple, and that such research as has been made is easily avail able to even a casual reader.

It is difficult to pick out from text books dealing with a particular branch of law the decisions upon such Statutes as relate to those branches.

Annotations of Statutes have, therefore, in many cases been found to be more useful than text books. The danger in annotating is to include too much, making it difficult for the practitioner to put his hand quickly upon what he requires.

In the present work the decisions affecting the Statutes have been compressed into notes in the shortest possible space and arranged in a manner which it is hoped will be found to lighten labor.

There has been no attempt to show the evolution of the law on any particular subject, but it has been sought simply to give the decisions construing the different enactments. The Statutes are published intact, and the editors' work has been confined to the endeavor to state what the Courts have said the Statutes mean and what their effect is as a result of the decisions.

The editors desire to express their thanks to the many members of the bar who have given kindly advice and assistance.
