In Reinventing Bankruptcy Law,Virginia Torrie challenges the orthodox history of The Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). The CCAA is used in contemporary insolvency practice to liquidate or restructure large businesses. Since the 1980s, courts have adopted a remarkably flexible approach to interpreting the CCAA, justifying their approach on the grounds that the statute’s underlying policy is to facilitate the restructuring of large businesses and thereby prevent the negative repercussions to jobs and local economies that result when businesses are liquidated. Torrie argues that courts have misunderstood the underlying policy of the CCAA, which, she argues, has always been aimed at benefiting secured creditors. Her book is a welcome addition to the small but growing body of historical scholarship on Canadian commercial law. I outline here central points in her analysis. A secured creditor faced with a distressed debtor may more effectively minimize its losses by restructuring the debtor’s obligations (e.g., giving the debtormore time to pay) than by liquidating the debtor (e.g., shutting down the debtor and selling off its assets). Liquidation can be particularly unprofitable during times of generalized economic distress, when there may be little demand for a debtor’s assets. In the early twentieth century in Canada, secured creditors had a contractual right to restructure a debtor’s payment obligations. Secured creditors would purchase bonds issued by a debtor. The bonds were governed by trust deeds, and the trust deed agreements entitled creditors to restructure the underlying debt. In the 1920s and 1930s, in an attempt to attract American investment, some trust deed agreements dropped the restructuring provision.When the Great Depression hit in the 1930s, many businesses were unable to pay their debts and their secured creditors had no effective restructuring tool. The financial fallout threatened the solvency of some of Canada’s big financial institutions because they held bonds issued by the troubled businesses. Failure of these institutions was politically unpalatable, so the federal government passed the CCAA to provide secured creditors with a statutory restructuring remedy. The legal community greeted the CCAAwith scepticism. The statute purported to bind secured creditors, but in the 1930s, most people believed that secured creditors’ remedies were the exclusive purview of provincial governments. To assuage doubters, the federal government referred the legislation to the Supreme Court of Canada. In 1934, the Court upheld the CCAA as a constitutional exercise of the federal government’s bankruptcy and insolvency power. However, the decision did not explicitly address the legislation’s ability to bind secured creditors. Doubts about the CCAA’s constitutionality remained until 1937, when the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council upheld the Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act as
在《重塑破产法》一书中,维吉尼亚•托里挑战了《公司债权人安排法》(“CCAA”)的正统历史。CCAA在当代破产实践中用于清算或重组大型企业。自20世纪80年代以来,法院采用了一种非常灵活的方法来解释《商业企业法》,理由是该法规的基本政策是促进大型企业的重组,从而防止企业清算对就业和地方经济造成的负面影响。Torrie认为,法院误解了CCAA的基本政策,她认为,该政策一直旨在使有担保的债权人受益。她的书是一个受欢迎的补充,对加拿大商业法的历史学术虽小,但不断增长。我在这里概述她分析的要点。面对陷入困境的债务人,有担保的债权人可以通过重组债务人的义务(例如,给债务人更多的时间付款)比清算债务人(例如,关闭债务人并出售其资产)更有效地减少其损失。在经济普遍不景气的时候,对债务人资产的需求可能很少,清算尤其无利可图。在二十世纪初的加拿大,有担保债权人根据合同有权重组债务人的支付义务。有担保债权人将购买债务人发行的债券。债券由信托契约管理,信托契约协议赋予债权人重组基础债务的权利。在20世纪20年代和30年代,为了吸引美国投资,一些信托契约协议放弃了重组条款。上世纪30年代大萧条袭来时,许多企业无力偿还债务,有担保的债权人也没有有效的重组工具。金融危机的余波威胁到加拿大一些大型金融机构的偿付能力,因为它们持有问题企业发行的债券。这些机构的失败在政治上是令人不快的,因此联邦政府通过了CCAA,为有担保的债权人提供法定重组补救措施。法律界对ccaa持怀疑态度。该法规旨在约束有担保债权人,但在20世纪30年代,大多数人认为有担保债权人的救济是省政府的专属权限。为了平息质疑,联邦政府将立法提交给加拿大最高法院。1934年,法院支持CCAA作为联邦政府破产和资不抵债权力的宪法行使。然而,该决定没有明确解决该立法对有担保债权人的约束能力。对CCAA合宪性的质疑一直持续到1937年,当时枢密院司法委员会支持《农民债权人安排法》

Marginal Citizens: Interracial intimacies and the incarceration of Japanese Canadians, 1942–1949 边缘公民:种族间的亲密关系和日裔加拿大人的监禁,1942-1949

Abstract Following Japan’s 1941 attacks on Hawai’i and Hong Kong, Canada relocated, detained, and exiled citizens and residents of Japanese ancestry. Many interracial families, however, were exempted from this racial project called the internment. The form of the exemption was an administrative permit granted to its holder on the basis of their marital or patrilineal proximity to whiteness. This article analyzes these permits relying on archival research and applying a critical race feminist lens to explore how law was constitutive of race at this moment in Canadian history. I argue that the permits recategorized interracial intimacies towards two racial ends: to differentiate the citizen from the “enemy alien”; and to regulate the interracial family according to patriarchal common law principles. This article nuances received narratives of law as an instrument of racial exclusion by documenting the way in which a new inclusive state measure sustained old exclusions.
摘要1941年日本袭击夏威夷和香港后,加拿大重新安置、拘留和流放了日本血统的公民和居民。然而,许多跨种族家庭被免除了这种被称为拘留的种族项目。豁免的形式是基于其婚姻或父系接近白人而授予其持有人的行政许可。本文以档案研究为基础,运用批判性的种族女权主义视角,分析了这些许可证,以探讨在加拿大历史的这一时刻,法律是如何构成种族的。我认为,这允许将跨种族的亲密关系重新归类为两个种族目的:将公民与“敌方外国人”区分开来;并根据重男轻女的普通法原则来规范异族家庭。这篇文章通过记录一种新的包容性国家措施维持旧的排斥的方式,将法律作为种族排斥的工具。

The Shifting Pendulum: Foreign Investors’ Liability Under Canada’s Common Law for Breaches of Customary International Law 摇摆不定:加拿大普通法下外国投资者违反习惯国际法的责任

Abstract In February 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered a decision—Nevsun Resources Ltd. v. Araya, 2020 SCC 5—that can properly be described as revolutionary. In Nevsun, the court found that a Canadian corporation operating in a host state, Eretria, could be liable under Canadian domestic law for human rights abuses committed in Eritrea under customary international law, as incorporated into Canadian domestic law. The decision merits special attention because it is likely to fundamentally change the relationship between foreign investors, host states and the residents of host states adversely affected by investors’ unlawful conduct which amount to modern slavery.
摘要2020年2月,加拿大最高法院作出了一项裁决——Nevsun Resources有限公司诉Araya,2020 SCC 5,可以被恰当地描述为革命性的。在Nevsun,法院认定,根据加拿大国内法,在东道国Eretria经营的加拿大公司可能对根据习惯国际法在厄立特里亚犯下的侵犯人权行为承担责任,该习惯国际法已纳入加拿大国内法。这一决定值得特别关注,因为它可能会从根本上改变外国投资者、东道国和受投资者非法行为不利影响的东道国居民之间的关系,这些行为相当于现代奴隶制。

Résumé L’interculturalisme québécois est un modèle de gestion de la diversité culturelle et religieuse qui, pour plusieurs, se distinguerait du multiculturalisme à la canadienne et ferait l’objet d’un large consensus au sein de la population québécoise. Résolument pluraliste, ce modèle distinct de gestion de la diversité aurait pu être opérationnalisé juridiquement dans le cadre constitutionnel canadien avant l’adoption de la Loi sur la laïcité de l’État. Or, le processus suivi par le gouvernement québécois pour faire adopter cette dernière, le 16 juin 2019, et tenter d’éviter que sa constitutionnalité puisse être contestée devant les tribunaux canadiens rend très difficile – voire impossible – la fondation juridique de l’interculturalisme québécois dans le contexte actuel.
魁北克跨文化主义是管理文化和宗教多样性的一种模式,对许多人来说,它不同于加拿大的多元文化主义,并将成为魁北克人口广泛共识的主题。在通过《国家世俗主义法》之前,这一独特的多样性管理模式本可以在加拿大宪法框架内合法运作。然而,魁北克政府于2019年6月16日通过了该法案,并试图避免其合宪性在加拿大法院受到质疑,这使得魁北克跨文化主义在当前背景下的法律基础非常困难,甚至不可能。

Formalizing Secularism as a Regime of Restrictions and Protections: The Case of Quebec (Canada) and Geneva (Switzerland) 将世俗主义正式化为一种限制和保护的制度:魁北克(加拿大)和日内瓦(瑞士)的案例

Abstract In 2019, the province of Quebec and the canton of Geneva passed bills establishing their states as “secular.” While each law is, to a certain extent, context specific, both present noteworthy similarities. First, neutrality (the cornerstone of laïcité) is articulated around two elements: (1) restrictions that affect the religious practices of public servants belonging to minority religions and (2) protections for Christian symbols constructed as “cultural.” The article questions the implications for inclusive citizenship of formalizing regulatory regimes that differentiate between “religion” and “culture.” Second, a comparative lens enables an analysis of how, through whom, and why similar regimes of regulation travel from one area of the world to another. The article argues for the importance of considering transnational influences when analyzing the regulation of religion to better (1) understand why particular models of secularism gain traction and (2) capture power dynamics structuring these processes of traction.
2019年,魁北克省和日内瓦州通过了法案,将其国家确立为“世俗”国家。虽然每条法律在一定程度上都是具体的,但两者都有值得注意的相似之处。首先,中立性(laïcité的基石)围绕两个要素进行阐述:(1)影响少数宗教公务员宗教活动的限制;(2)保护被构建为“文化”的基督教符号。这篇文章质疑将区分“宗教”和“文化”的监管制度正式化对包容性公民的影响。其次,通过比较的视角,可以分析类似的监管制度如何、通过谁、以及为什么从世界的一个地区传播到另一个地区。本文论证了在分析宗教监管时考虑跨国影响的重要性,以更好地(1)理解为什么世俗主义的特定模式获得牵引力,(2)捕捉构建这些牵引力过程的权力动态。

Abstract In 2017, a Muslim cemetery project was proposed in the municipality of St-Apollinaire, just outside Quebec City. This proposal required a change in local zoning, which necessitated approval from citizens living around the targeted plot of land, through the use of diverse deliberative tools. Drawing on a small-scale empirical study conducted in 2017–2018 with key informants in the cemetery project, this article investigates how these actors lived through, engaged with, and operated within the bounds of law. To do this, I suggest employing a legal consciousness framework to examine how local life is also where everyday lived law occurs. The local governance of diversity in death thus requires a re-evaluation of the “local,” identity politics, relationships, and legal consciousness. Ultimately, this article proposes that local decision-making processes play an important yet underexamined role in the broader conversations on belonging.
摘要2017年,魁北克城外的圣阿波利奈尔市提出了一个穆斯林墓地项目。这项提案要求改变地方分区,这需要通过使用各种审议工具,获得居住在目标地块周围的公民的批准。根据2017年至2018年对墓地项目中的关键线人进行的一项小规模实证研究,本文调查了这些参与者是如何在法律范围内生活、参与和运作的。为此,我建议采用法律意识框架来研究当地生活是如何成为日常生活法律发生的地方。因此,对死亡多样性的地方治理需要重新评估“地方”身份政治、关系和法律意识。最终,本文提出,地方决策过程在更广泛的归属对话中发挥着重要但未经充分审查的作用。

Abstract This article reflects on the question of how culture and religion enter legal cases and public debates about the place of majoritarian religious symbols in diverse societies that have some democratic will to inclusion. In the context of the new diversity, the article considers how the articulation of “our culture and heritage” as a strategy for preserving “formerly” religious symbols and practices in public spaces excludes particular groups from the narrative of who “we” are as a nation. The reader is invited to consider how challenges to such symbols and practices might be articulated as a challenge to privilege and power and that a refusal to acknowledge those power relations puts the reputation of democracy and human rights at risk.
摘要本文反思了文化和宗教如何进入法律案件的问题,以及关于多数派宗教象征在具有一定民主包容意愿的不同社会中的地位的公开辩论。在新的多样性背景下,文章考虑了将“我们的文化和遗产”作为一种在公共场所保护“以前”宗教象征和实践的战略,如何将特定群体排除在“我们”作为一个国家的叙事之外。请读者考虑如何将对这些象征和做法的挑战表述为对特权和权力的挑战,以及拒绝承认这些权力关系会危及民主和人权的声誉。

L’effacement de la laïcité libérale en France. De la séparation du politique et du religieux vers la promotion du « vivre‑ensemble » 法国自由世俗主义的消亡。从政治和宗教分离到促进“共同生活”

Résumé Depuis plusieurs décennies, la laïcité subit en France une transformation profonde qui remet en cause sa dimension libérale. Le principe de séparation du politique et du religieux se dilue au profit de la promotion de la notion récente du « vivre‑ensemble », qui voudrait associer garantie de la liberté religieuse et défense des valeurs républicaines. Ce processus d’érosion s’appuie sur le développement d’une logique concordataire et sur l’émergence d’une conception « communautariste » de la laïcité.
几十年来,法国的世俗主义经历了深刻的变革,挑战了其自由主义层面。政治和宗教分离的原则被淡化,有利于促进最近的“共同生活”概念,该概念旨在将保障宗教自由与捍卫共和价值观结合起来。这一侵蚀过程是基于和谐逻辑的发展和世俗主义“社群主义”概念的出现。

Résumé Suite à la loi 101, la Politique québécoise du développement culturel a visé à faire en sorte que la culture québécoise soit commune à tous et puisse s’enrichir d’apports en provenance des minorités culturelles. Puis, divers écrits ont contribué à faire évoluer le concept de convergence culturelle, à le critiquer ou à répondre à ceux qui le critiquent. À la lumière de cette politique et de ces écrits, on peut associer ce concept à sept principes : lien consubstantiel entre la langue française et la culture québécoise, impératif de la préservation du statut majoritaire de la culture québécoise et de la langue française, refus de l’assimilation des minorités culturelles, intégration, appropriation identitaire, mixité, et rôle vital des œuvres et productions artistiques. Reprenant ces principes et respectant certains critères de la légistique (clarté, cohérence, concision, véracité), le présent article propose le texte d’une loi-cadre sur la convergence culturelle, et la situe théoriquement.
根据第101号法案,魁北克文化发展政策的目标是确保魁北克文化对所有人都是共同的,并能从文化少数群体的贡献中得到丰富。后来,各种各样的著作帮助发展了文化融合的概念,批评了它,或回应了那些批评它的人。根据这项政策和这些作品,可以让这个概念的七项原则:魁北克的法国语言和文化之间的联系,必须保存的多数党地位魁北克文化和法语,拒绝同化少数民族文化融合、身份盗用、混合性和作品的重要作用和艺术作品。考虑到这些原则,并尊重某些法律标准(清晰、连贯、简洁、真实),本文提出了一个关于文化融合的框架法律的文本,并在理论上进行了定位。
