Fair Dealing Evaluator

How It Works

Provide contextual information about your intended reproduction
Apply the six-part fair dealing test from the CCH v. Law society of Upper Canada Supreme Court decision to your intended reproduction
Indicate how “fair” you feel your reproduction is for each of the factors (based on the description & criteria you have provided) [getting help with criteria]
Saves your entries and issue a color coded "fairness" result, showing the average for the evaluations you provided. [why it isn't as simple as it sounds]

Add any other mitigating circumstances or information that you feel is important (or, if you determine your reproduction is not fair, exit the tool)

The Fair Dealing Evaluator will collate and publish a time-stamped PDF of your "Fair Dealing Evaluation" (using the information you've provided).

Share your analysis with colleagues, a librarian, or a copyright specialist for comment or to validate your results.
Keep a copy for your files.
