Hardcover, Lexis

This national work clearly organizes and presents the black letter law and explains the nuanced framework that governs land use and development across Canada.

Planning and zoning concerns do not only arise in the course of a municipal law file or with respect to a major development project. They can emerge as part of a residential or commercial purchase and sale, in the context of a by-law dispute, or in the day-to-day operation of a small business. While these issues are not just the province of specialists, they are specialized, and informed guidance is absolutely essential – and now conveniently available.

The Halsbury's Planning and Zoning (2026 Reissue) title provides practitioners with a thoughtful and thorough explanation of this important area of law. Written by some of Canada's most respected land use practitioners, with contributions from Sean Coughlin (Chapter VIII) and Glenn Grenier (Chapters I & II), this national work organizes and presents black letter law and explains the nuanced framework that governs land use and development across Canada. It delivers straightforward answers to the questions, both large and small, that lawyers will wrestle with on a variety of files, and does so in an accessible manner.
