Contract Law Revisited: Where are We Now?

  • About this program:
  • Bhasin and Sattva were billed as significant changes to the law of contracts. How have the courts interpreted these cases? What impact do they have on contract drafting and litigation? Join us for this engaging session on the state of contractual interpretation two years post decision. Our partner, Geoff Hall, author of Canadian Contractual Interpretation Law, the leading Canadian text on the interpretation of contracts now in its 3rd edition. Geoff will share his insights on how recent decisions have changed the landscape of contractual interpretation.

    Topics discussed will be:

    ¬ How Bhasin seems to be a whimper not a bang
    ¬ How Sattva has caused an uproar in the lower courts
    ¬ What litigators and transactional lawyers need to know about the new legal landscape
