LawBytes Podcast on 20th Anniversary of Landmark CCH Copyright Case

In his most recent LawBytes podcast, University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist talks with Scott Jolliffe, an IP litigator with the law firm Gowlings, about the Supreme Court of Canada decision in CCH Canadian v. Law Society of Upper Canada:

"Twenty years ago today the Supreme Court of Canada released CCH Canadian v. Law Society of Upper Canada, a decision that stands as perhaps the most consequential in Canadian copyright law history as it would firmly establish fair dealing as a users right and serve as the foundation for copyright law in Canada for decades to come. Leading off the hearing several months earlier for the Law Society was Scott Jolliffe, an IP litigator with the law firm Gowlings. Jolliffe was charged with arguing the fair dealing aspects of the case, but it was only at last moment that users right entered the picture. To mark its 20th anniversary, Jolliffe joins the Law Bytes podcast to talk about the CCH case, his strategy and insights from the hearing, and his thoughts on its impact many years later."
