THE SYSTEM OF STANDARD LAW CLASSIFICATION.

This system of law classification was inaugurated in the Canadian Annual Digest, 1912. There are now under this system the Annual Digests of 1912, 1913, 1914 and the present Digest of 1915.

The object of adopting this system of classification is to enable to quickly locate all parallel cases, or cases in point, by means of a permanent number placed at the commencement of each principle decided in any case. This classification number is composed of the numerals of the various sub-headings of each title to which the case relates, and is attached to all cases deciding the same point or principle. It is the distinguishing mark by which a legal principle, or the case deciding it, can be easily found and lifted from the mass of case law.

Taking, for example, the case of Re False Creek Reclamation Act, 22 D.L.R. 117, which treats the point as to jurisdiction to remit or set aside an award. That particular principle bears the Classification number ARBITRATION (§ III-17). By turning to this Digest under the title of ARBITRATION there will be found a number of cases classified under the identical number treating the identical question. The same result will be obtained by consulting the previous Annual Digests under that particular heading and number. The views of the various Courts on any given question are thus readily and quickly found.

If a case is reversed, affirmed, followed, distinguished, etc., it is indicated accordingly. The cross-references will prove highly helpful as a guide to the proper titles and as a means of finding analagous principles treated under different branches of the law.

A full table of cases digested, as well as table of cases affirmed, reversed, overruled, varied and distinguished will be found in the volume, also an exhaustive list of "Words and Phrases" judicially considered. A carefully prepared Table of Abbreviations of Canadian Reports, Statutes, Digests and Journals has also been supplemented.

All the annotations contained in the Dominion Law Reports, from Volume 1 to 25 inclusive, have been classified under the respective titles to which they relate. Almost every subject contains references to a number of annotations, thus adding to this Digest an encyclopedic feature.
