Expert insights into your area of the law, and opportunities to enjoy the wonder of the Canadian Rockies: this is one conference you won’t want to miss. For a day-and-a-half, leading lawyers will be in Banff, AB to discuss the hottest trends in Civil Litigation and Insurance Law, from the latest on damages in automobile personal injury to insurance coverage for deficiency claims; from privacy law issues to commercial host claims to developments in the law of defamation. Join Stephen English, Q.C. as he examines aggravated and punitive damages; gain insights on claims against financial advisers with Professor John Weir of the University of Windsor; attend a primer on class actions by Rodney Hayley; and understand bad faith in the insurance coverage context with Professor Barbara Billingsley of the University of Alberta. Plus: hear insights from the Honourable Mr. Justice Arthur Lutz, Alberta Queen’s Bench on how judges decide cases. For these and many other forward-thinking presentations and for a locale that promises world-class recreational opportunities and unsurpassed scenery, Banff will be the place to be this fall.
