Litigation against the Crown comes with its own set of unique procedural and substantive rules. There are traps for the inexperienced and unwary.
This course is designed to assist lawyers at all levels of experience in navigating the traps. This year's course will cover substantive topics of Crown liability, including: the Crown's liability in negligence, claims for Charter damages, misfeasance by Crown officers, and vicarious liability.
The course will also cover other topics relating to unique features of litigation against the Crown, including justiciability, statutory immunity, and cabinet and other privilege.
Rounding out the program will be sessions on class actions by and against the Crown, litigation involving Indigenous groups, and managing complex litigation against the Crown.
This information-packed course will be of interest to lawyers of all levels of experience who wish to equip themselves for the challenge of suing or defending the Crown.
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
