Discussion Activity – The Barbershop Duet
The following post touches on the discussion activity (3.1/2) from this week which asks us to consider whether the agreement between X and Y regarding their barbershop (Z) constitutes a partnership. I will assume for the sake of this activity that the agreement was made in BC and therefore subject to the BCPA. Provisions 2.2 […]
Lawyer’s Ethical Obligations
With regards to the discussion we had at the beginning of last class around ethics, I feel it is helpful to point out 3.2-7 & 3.2-8 of the BC Law Society ‘s Code of Professional Conduct. They read as follows: “DISHONESTY, FRAUD BY CLIENT 3.2-7 A lawyer must not engage in any activity that the […]
The Barbershop: A Duet or Two Solos?

The Problem with the Narrative of the Psychopathic Person
So I finally watched The Corporation (late to the party, I know), and got through it with the disappointed, slightly scrunched up face of someone who found it deeply flawed. I agreed with it in many aspects, including the solutions proffered at the end, to do with changing the incentives of corporations to be more […]
The Myth of Corporate Personhood
A corporation is not a person: although I obviously do not have knowledge of the full range of jurisprudence on this issue, there seems to be little ground to support the notion that a corporation is a person. There is legislation in place, section 15(1) of the CBCA and section 30 of the BCBCA, that gives corporations […]
