Existential threats
This article considers the optimal structure of institutions that respond to existential threats such as climate change and pandemics. While science must play a central role in guiding policy responses, there are many values at stake that ought to be reflected in institutional design. There is a distinction between risk assessment, a science‐driven analysis in these contexts, and risk management, in which trade‐offs are considered in responding t…
An economic analysis of waiver of tort in negligence actions
The legal status, scope, and policy implications of the waiver of tort doctrine have been a prominent, controversial, and unresolved feature of many recent class action proceedings in Canada, especially in products liability cases, where plaintiffs have sought to claim disgorgement of profits or revenues as an alternative to proof of damage or injury. The doctrine in recent years has been invoked frequently by plaintiffs in negligence class actio…

Outcomes of appeals to high courts will depend in part on the ideological preferences of the justices who decide the appeals. The institutional structure of a high court may affect how far these preferences influence outcomes.

In this article we consider corresponding institutional reform. Both the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the Competition Bureau/Tribunal are presently involved in telecom regulation. We propose a framework in which there is a clearer division of res…
