Welfare And Pension Plan Legislation

"The Annotated Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security Act is the first in-depth treatment of these two important statutes, as they have been interpreted by the case law. The authors review the legislation, regulations and decisions of the courts, the Pension Appeals Board and the Review Tribunal, providing exclusive insights into the law and the different ways in which it can be applied. The 2009 edition updates the legislation and digests of decisions issued by the Supreme Court of Canada, Federal Court, Pension Appeals Board and the Review Tribunal over the last year. All pending legislation will be incorporated into the Acts."--pub. desc.
