Almost forty years later, Parliament finally passed new bankruptcy legislation, recognizing that what was once considered a moral evil had become a commercial necessity. In \u003cem\u003eRuin and Redemption\u003c\/em\u003e, Thomas GW Telfer analyses the ideas, interests, and institutions that shaped the evolution of Canadian bankruptcy law in this era. Examining the vigorous public debates over the idea of bankruptcy, Telfer argues that the law was shaped by conflict over the morality of release from debts and by the divergence of interests between local and distant creditors. \u003cem\u003eR\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003euin and Redemption\u003c\/em\u003e is the first full-length study of the origins of Canadian bankruptcy law, thus making it an important contribution to the study of Canada’s commercial law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142903316720,"sku":"9781442619692","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442619692_p0.jpg?v=1763813612","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442619692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
