Despite the distinct legal status of a corporation under Canadian law, corporate directors and officers have a broad range of responsibilities that may expose them to personal and corporate liability. This publication provides a comprehensive review of the personal civil liability, criminal liability and fiduciary duties of directors and officers as well as the related issues of indemnification and directors' meetings. The law in each area is explained and supplemented with examples and extracts from case law, and text of related statutes.

This Revised Edition includes a completely new, easier-to-use format and typeface. It also features case references which contain both the official law report citation and the LexisNexis® Quicklaw® citation, allowing you to quickly identify and obtain the full-text decisions relevant to your particular case.
