Judgment in the Court of Error and Appeal, for Upper Canada: In the Suit of the Great Western Railway Company of Canada, (Appellants), Against the ... of Canada (Respondents) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Groundbreaking 19th‑century banking case distilled for readers today
A detailed look at a landmark decision about how a railway company borrowed money, and who bears the risk when funds are used for broader projects. This edition clarifies the legal reasoning behind whether bankers can be repaid when funds were spent beyond the original scope.
In this volume, the justices examine corporate power, parliamentary sanction, and the duties of directors and shareholders. It traces how acts of Parliament interact with corporate authority, and how courts assess guarantees, loans, and the obligations of bankers and lenders. The discussion shows how precedent governs the repayment of advances in complex, cross‑border railway ventures.What you’ll experience
- Plain explanations of key legal concepts like ultra vires, corporate borrowing, and directors’ powers
- Analysis of how parliamentary acts and shareholder votes shape finance decisions
- Insights into evidence, res gestoe, and how courts weigh board communications
