Five years ago the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in Sattva Capital Corp. v Creston Moly Corp., providing guidance to parties regarding the correct approach to contractual interpretation. Come hear our panel of distinguished experts, all of whom are practitioners, authors and professors, give their opinion on contractual interpretation now that Sattva has taken root.
This program will benefit both civil and commercial litigators at all levels and solicitors who draft contracts.
- What’s changed?
- How have lower courts responded to the principles laid down by the SCC in Sattva, and, more recently, Ledcor?
- What constitutes the "surrounding circumstances" or “factual matrix”?
- What should litigators keep in mind when drafting pleadings, conducting examinations at trial, and formulating closing arguments?
- What practical tips can assist corporate counsel when negotiating and drafting agreements?
