Crown Ownership of Water in situ in Common Law Canada : Public Trusts, Classical Trusts and Fiduciary Duties[Record]

  • Jane Matthews Glenn

My interest in this topic owes much to the influence of a McGill colleague, Madeleine CantinCumyn, whose writings on Québec’s private law of water have enticed me to reflect on the common law’s approach to water in situ. Earlier versions were presented first at a Rendez-vous international sur la gestion intégrée de l’eau, Université de Sherbrooke, June 2009 (“La nature juridique de l’eau au Canada : A res communis in civil law and common law”, presented jointly with Madeleine Cantin Cumyn) and more recently at a conference on Private Property, Planning and the Public Interest, University of Windsor, March 2010 (“Ownership of Water in Situ in Common Law Canada : Reflections on res communis”).
