Clayton Bangsund, Bangsund on the Commercial Liens Act of Saskatchewan (Regina: Office of the King’s Printer, 2023)

November 30, 2023: I am pleased to announce the release of my second book, Bangsund on the Commercial Liens Act of Saskatchewan. Published by the Office of the King’s Printer, the book is a resource for service providers, lawyers, judges, students, professors, and other business and legal professionals who transact and study in the Province of Saskatchewan. On some level, it is an annotated version of The Commercial Liens Act (CLA). However, statutory provisions are not analyzed in numerical order. Instead, content is organized according to concept, and statutory provisions are discussed in logical sequence.

In 2002, Saskatchewan became the first province to bring into force the CLA based on the model Uniform Liens Act, 2000 promulgated by the Uniform Law Conference of Canada. The CLA is a revolutionary statute that enables service providers to protect their trade credit with proprietary interests – liens – in the goods they enhance and preserve. In conjunction with The Personal Property Security Act, 1993, the CLA modernizes and rationalizes the law of commercial liens by standardizing rules for attachment, perfection, priority and enforcement. Click here to download and review the Table of Contents, Preface and Prologue of Bangsund on the Commercial Liens Act of Saskatchewan.
