ATTENTION: Activity run in FRENCH

It is well known that the Copyright Act does not deal with matrimonial and estate devolution matters because they are under the jurisdiction of the provincial legislatures. Two relatively recent decisions, one in Quebec on an inheritance issue and another one in New Zealand concerning the divorce of a painter, provide an opportunity to look at those lesser-known matters in Canadian copyright law. A lawyer and a notary from Quebec will discuss them together with a Belgian moderator whose doctoral dissertation bore on those issues.
