This is an excellent book, one that many lawyers have been for too long without. At that date, even in the United States there was no comprehensive textbook on this subject. There are few questions that a Canadian commercial lawyer could be concerned about in connection with giving or receiving opinions in a typical transaction that are not thoroughly dealt with in Estey's book.
