The Canadian Institute's 17^th Annual

PROVINCIAL/MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENT LIABILITY
_____________________________________________________

Litigation is a major expense for municipalities and provinces

More than ever, plaintiffs are going after the deep-pocket defendants whenever there’s a potential claim. Inevitably, that means increasing and costly litigation against municipalities and provinces.

The Canadian Institute’s 17th Annual Provincial/Municipal Government Liability program is your best source of the critical information you need to litigate these claims. You’ll benefit from the diverse array of speakers that include experienced lawyers, risk managers and insurance professionals. Their insights will help you address potential problems not only at the litigation stage but before the claim arises.

In addition to updates on topics of perennial concern, such as roads, sidewalks and recreational centres, we’ve refreshed the program this year with a number of areas of emerging claims, including:

• Liability for injuries caused by objects falling off buildings and construction sites
• Challenges to regulation of land held under Crown patents
• New case law from the Supreme Court of Canada on Charter damages
• Claims for damages arising from nearby wind turbines
• Issues arising from unsafe holes in the ground left by defaulting landowners
• How to embrace social media without attracting liability

And much more!
