Bruce Feldthusen will be speaking to our class about pure economic losses on Thursday, November 15. Some of you may recall that he was originally scheduled to teach this course, until his appointment as acting vice-president of the university led him to suspend his role as Dean of our law school. (Of course, but-for that turn of events, we'd not have had the pleasure of taking torts together!) Anyways, VP Feldthusen is a universally-recognized torts guru, and literally THE leading expert on the planet when it comes to the topic of economic losses. He really did write the book on this stuff. He also coedited our casebook and is a coauthor of the accompanying textbook with Justice Linden. His analytical framework for economic loss has been adopted by the Supreme Court, and remains the most accurate reflection of the law in Canada today. In preparation, I want you to skim Chapter 10 (pages 439-490) of the LKF casebook. Note that I said "skim," just to get an idea of the cases and issues that will be addressed during this lecture.
