Breakfast With Appeal: The “Film Festival” edition

It’s September in Toronto, which means that eager fans are lining the streets of the downtown core, waiting in lines with their phones held aloft in the hopes of snapping that once-in-a-lifetime pic… of their favourite BWA panellists! Join us on September 23 for a star-studded lineup of appellate case law.

• No spoilers, please! In SS&C Technologies Canada Corp, the Supreme Court explained how you can avoid needing spoiler alerts by defining the test for spoliation.
• Guess who’s coming to dinner… er, breakfast? WE are: Democracy Watch and the (un)constitutionality of privative clauses.
• Coming attractions: The fall is sweater weather—or in the case of Supreme Court judges, new fancy robes with red trim weather! The BWA panel will talk about the cases they are most excited about that the SCC will hear in 2026-27.
• Post-credits scene: Stay tuned after the coming attractions for a 15-minute bonus discussion with Torys’ very own Rebecca Wise about the ONCA decisions in Baker and Li covering the enforceability of termination clauses in employment agreements.

Don’t miss this episode of BWA, which promises no shortage of drama, some huge blockbusters, and BWA’s home-grown style of comedy.
