Notes

"Includes digests of every court of appeal case (reported or unreported) since 1987, every superior court case since 1996, and all other court cases since the end of 1998. Since 1998, the mandate of the abridgment has been to include digest of cases from every court in every common law jurisdiction in Canada. The abridgment has excluded digests of cases based exclusively on the Quebec civil code, but includes digests of Quebec cases of national importance" – Pref
