The Copyright Act does not have many provisions that affect copyright owners’ contractual relations. Yet lately, the Court of Appeal of Quebec pronounced itself on the types of contracts that form the basis of such essential relations in Druide Informatique inc. v. Éditions Québec Amérique inc., a case whose application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada was rejected in March this year. Two practitioners, moderated by a French specialist who is accustomed to more explicit legislation regarding contractual matters, will discuss its implications.
