Bangsund on the Commercial Liens Act of British Columbia

This book is designed to assist service providers, lawyers, judges, students, and other financial professionals as they navigate the recently enacted Commercial Liens Act (CLA) of British Columbia. Bangsund on the Commercial Liens Act of British Columbia is a highly practical guide for service providers, lawyers, judges, students, and financial professionals navigating the revolutionary new Commercial Liens Act (CLA). The book explains how the CLA gives service providers a lien and enforcement rights on serviced goods in cases of non-payment. Organized by concept rather than by statute section, commercial law expert Clayton Bangsund offers clear, concise analysis supported by statutory text, block quotes, and pinpoint citations. Hypothetical scenarios throughout the book illustrate how the CLA operates in real situations. Each substantive chapter ends with self-assessment exercises, with solutions provided in an appendix, making this resource both comprehensive and user-friendly. The appendices also include a governance overview table, a glossary, and a table of statutory concordance & indexing, which assists the reader in locating the author’s discussion of particular statutory provisions. Helping readers discern the transformative new legal realities created by the CLA, this is an essential read for students and practitioners.
