Money COMMENT
'Money' is as old as organized trade - which is a long time. Since the days of the Bible money lending and money accumulation has been ethically controversial, and - given it's degree of statutory regulation today - remains so. It is regulated by multiple statutes:- Consumer Protection Act (CPA) (Ontario),
- Bank Act (federal) [quite similar the the CPA in this respect, using the 'full disclosure' model of consumer law],
- Collection and Debt Settlement Service Act (CADSSA),
- Consumer Reporting Act (CRA),
- Unconscionable Transaction Relief Act (UTRA),
- and many more.
Closely-related topics are Execution and Insolvency.

EDITING NOTES
. Collection Agencies Guide was last statute auto-updated at 24 April 2023; it still needs case harvesting, especially re Ch.7 and 8. Likely will want terminating Ch.7 and 8 and replacing with well-organized cases topics
. past misnaming in updating cases in 2019 update [should have been "Collection and Debt Settlement Services Act" not "Collection Agencies and Debt Settlement Services Act"]; currency corrected now but still have to update ALL cases since 2013, not many
. consider Canada Trustco Mortgage Company v. Laird, 2007 CanLII 15232 (ON SC
. harvest: Canaccede Credit LP v. Dyment, 2020 ONSC 325 (CanLII)
