Presented by the
Personal Injury & Insurance Practice Group.
Matters involving other provinces and jurisdictions can be a potential minefield for personal injury lawyers.
When can (and can't) you practise in another province? What are they key distinctions between different provincial occupier’s liability and automobile insurance regimes across Canada? What guidance from recent cases on jurisdiction can help you win your next Van Breda motion?
Join our national faculty of leading personal injury litigators to hear how you can avoid common pitfalls that arise when other jurisdictions are at play.
Gain tips for navigating different rules relating to:
- Client identification and contingency fee agreements
- Availability of information/disclosure about insurance
- Limitation periods, Family Law Act claims and security for costs for non-residents
- Retaining experts and disclosure obligations/limitations
- Obtaining court approval for settlements, and more!
Worried about being "home-towned"? Our panel will also provide practical advice on how to find the best local agent, spell out a clear engagement with them, and advocate effectively with them as a team.
