What is the name of your state? Canada.
In all common law jurisdictions, the general principles are the same for almost all areas of law. So the law of contract in some American states and most Canadian provinces talk of offer acceptance, unconscionability, and duress. And family law in these places also talk of the best interests of the child, seperation, custody and access.
But tax law may not be the same, because there are no general principles in tax law. And yet, at the same time, the same problems must arise between the two countries, which are of course very similar. So I'm asking - is there a big difference between American tax law and Canadian tax law, or can one expert transfer his expertise between countries?
