The age-old rule of the common law that a citizen may not seek redress from the government for wrongs committed by the latter is often restated in the form of two maxims. One is that "the king can do no wrong." It refers to "wrongs" in the narrower sense of the word, meaning torts and related delicts. It has its counter part if not origin in the Roman-Byzantine holding, princeps legibus solutus est.' Many modern countries and some states have abrogated the rule. The other maxim, "the sovereign cannot be sued without his consent," precludes any law suit, not merely in tort, against the government unless it "consents." This latter rule has no counterpart in the civil law, which has not objected to contractual suits against the "fisc" since time immemorial. As a matter of fact, the fisc of the civil law countries is usually conceived as a juristic person existing for the very purpose of enabling the state to be a plaintiff or defendant in a civil litigation.

This article discusses issues of tort liability surrounding trade unions and collective bargaining in Canada. In particular, it examines the impact of compulsory collective bargaining legislation upon the common law. Through a discussion of several cases, the author examines the various techniques by which the common law imposes liability for strikes. Specifically, he discusses the tort doctrines currently employed by the courts such as the doctrine that breach of the Labour Relations Act per se confers a civil cause of action, the doctrine of civil conspiracy, as well as the doctrine of intentional interference. The author then discusses two particular decisions as a means of examining arbitration as an alternative to litigation in such cases. He concludes with a discussion of the physical, institutional, and analytical difficulties arising from cases imposing liability for strikes in Canada, and offers some of his own suggestions for counteracting such difficulties.

The United Nations has added new complications to the well-worn subject of treaties and the Constitution. The issues have arisen principally in the field of human rights and, inevitably, constitutional discussions have reflected the political as well as the legal complexities. One consequence has been an apparent shift in legal positions: bar association leaders, long devoted to strict construction, have been inclined recently to stress the broad and expansive character of the treaty power and the supremacy clause ; in contrast, U.S. Government officials normally expected to support federal power have increasingly emphasized constitutional limitations. In political terms, this turnabout is not as paradoxical as it might appear: the one group draws attention to the far-reaching effects of treaties on internal law in order to discourage adherence of the United States; the other group, in response, seeks to limit somewhat the impact of the treaties on domestic law in order to gain wider support for U.S. participation. There are, in turn, repercussions on the international level. Within the United Nations, delegates of other countries are not always prepared to accept U.S. constitutional difficulties as a sufficient reason for restrictive treaty clauses. There is an understandable reluctance to make exceptions which might result in inequality of obligation and questions have been raised regarding both the legal interpretation and the political motives of the U.S. delegates raising constitutional points.
