RAAV has a press release on the ruling by the Quebec Court of Appeal in the case of Marc-André Jacques Fortier v. Gestion B. Brisson et Associés et Brian Brisson (also available in original French):

For the first time, a visual artist, Marc-André-Jacques Fortier, sculptor and member of RAAV, dared to push to the limit the defence of his rights with regard to a private gallery that neglected to sign contracts and keep appropriate accounts relative to the artist’s works. Defended by an experienced lawyer, J. L. Wolofsky, the artist was able to demonstrate definitively the effectiveness of the statute when it comes to the obligation for artists and private presenters to sign individual contracts.
