nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Chief Justice Kerwin (1889 - 1963) studied law at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, was called to the bar of Ontario in 1911, became King’s Counsel in 1928, and became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario in 1932. In 1935, he became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and in 1954 he became Chief Justice.From the start of his career, Patrick seemed un complicated, pleasant, and ambitious. Success, advancement, distinction and, finally, the highest laurel of the law all came to him. However, there was more to him than that.In his many years in the courts, no one witnessed Patrick act rudely to counsel appearing before him nor was it ever known for him to lose his temper in court. It is wonderful to know that a man who acted with such decorum over the many years is still having his words heard through the judgments provided during his career.Patrick Grandcourt Kerwin’s innate sense of fair play and justice permeated his work from the time he practised law in Guelph, to sitting on the bench of the Ontario High Court and Supreme Court of Canada. In his own life, he kept it simple and straightforward. As his daughter noted, 'If you presented him with a good argument, he would weigh the issue on its own merits.'During a speech he gave upon receiving an Honourary Doctorate of Laws at the University of Toronto in 1956, Patrick spoke of the past, the future and the notion of ‘goodness’. On that day (Address at the University of Toronto, May 25, 1956 1-2), he stated'Having been born and practised law in Ontario, it is particularly gratifying that such an academic distinction should come to me from this University, situate in the capital of the Province and exercising a profound influence not only in Ontario but throughout Canada. It is a far cry from the early days of this institution and its predecessor, from the days of Upper Canada and muddy York, and from the times of comparatively slow motion in the way of travel. Since then great strides have been taken in all fields of human endeavour and the sons and daughters of this, and other universities have taken a prominent part in the march of progress, — not only in practical and mundane things but also in research and in the sphere of ideas and ideals. This in truth is an exemplification of the principle set forth by Newman in his Idea of a University that 'the good is always useful'. Goodness for the individual and, therefore, for all mankind. As Canadians we are concerned with the meaning and effect of that quality, in Ontario, in the other Provinces and in the Territories. Its full force may be felt only if the rights of the individual as a human being be held in high regard and nothing be done, or suffered, to cast him from his pedestal. To put the matter no higher, each one who graduates from this University has a duty to himself, to his parents and relatives and to his professors to see to it that these rights are protected.'The extent of Patrick’s experience in the field of law brought to the fore for him this notion of goodness, that the individual was the most important aspect, as well as justice was best served when not delayed. His reputation was that of a fair and hard working man. He had worked long and was not far from retirement age. But Patrick Grandcourt Kerwin was never able to retire and enjoy a time of ease and reflection. He was never able to enjoy the ‘evening of life’; a time spent in relaxation, deliberation and relishing his grandchildren's achievements. As well, he was unable to have time to ponder a life well lived and a life of service to the public good.…

Chief Justice Kerwin (1889 - 1963) studied law at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, was called to the bar of Ontario in 1911, became King’s Counsel in 1928, and became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario in 1932. In 1935, he became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and in 1954 he became Chief Justice.
From the start of his career, Patrick seemed un¬complicated, pleasant, and ambitious. Success, advancement, distinction and, finally, the highest laurel of the law all came to him. However, there was more to him than that.
In his many years in the courts, no one witnessed Patrick act rudely to counsel appearing before him nor was it ever known for him to lose his temper in court. It is wonderful to know that a man who acted with such decorum over the many years is still having his words heard through the judgments provided during his career.
Patrick Grandcourt Kerwin’s innate sense of fair play and justice permeated his work from the time he practised law in Guelph, to sitting on the bench of the Ontario High Court and Supreme Court of Canada. In his own life, he kept it simple and straightforward. As his daughter noted, “If you presented him with a good argument, he would weigh the issue on its own merits.”
During a speech he gave upon receiving an Honourary Doctorate of Laws at the University of Toronto in 1956, Patrick spoke of the past, the future and the notion of ‘goodness’. On that day (Address at the University of Toronto, May 25, 1956 1-2), he stated,
"Having been born and practised law in Ontario, it is particularly gratifying that such an academic distinction should come to me from this University, situate in the capital of the Province and exercising a profound influence not only in Ontario but throughout Canada... It is a far cry from the early days of this institution and its predecessor, from the days of Upper Canada and muddy York, and from the times of comparatively slow motion in the way of travel. Since then great strides have been taken in all fields of human endeavour and the sons and daughters of this, and other universities have taken a prominent part in the march of progress, — not only in practical and mundane things but also in research and in the sphere of ideas and ideals. This in truth is an exemplification of the principle set forth by Newman in his Idea of a University that "the good is always useful". Goodness for the individual and, therefore, for all mankind. As Canadians we are concerned with the meaning and effect of that quality, in Ontario, in the other Provinces and in the Territories. Its full force may be felt only if the rights of the individual as a human being be held in high regard and nothing be done, or suffered, to cast him from his pedestal. To put the matter no higher, each one who graduates from this University has a duty to himself, to his parents and relatives and to his professors to see to it that these rights are protected."
The extent of Patrick’s experience in the field of law brought to the fore for him this notion of goodness, that the individual was the most important aspect, as well as justice was best served when not delayed. His reputation was that of a fair and hard¬working man. He had worked long and was not far from retirement age.

He was never able to enjoy the ‘evening of life’; a time spent in relaxation, deliberation and relishing his grandchildren's achievements. As well, he was unable to have time to ponder a life well lived and a life of service to the public good.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
