Breakfast With Appeal: The “lonely hearts” edition

Whether you’re single or spoken for, everyone puts a heart on their calendar in the second week of February… to mark the latest episode of Breakfast With Appeal! The BWA panel is convening early to make sure you’ve booked the table, bought the flowers and brushed up on just enough recent appellate cases to dazzle your date.

Topics include:

• Living in a material world. In Lundin Mining Corp. v. Markowich, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on the distinction between a “material change” and a “material fact” in securities law.
• Read the prenup. In 1401380 Ontario Limited (Wilderness North Air) v. Hydro One Remote Communities Inc., the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the awarding of damages for breach of contract, but substantially cut the amount after determining that a clause “clearly” limited damages.
• Mr. Independence, let me introduce you to Ms. Constitution? In Chief Electoral Officer of Alberta v. Sylvestre, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench ruled that a proposed referendum question on Alberta independence was unconstitutional, contravening both the Canadian Charter as well as Indigenous Treaty rights under the Constitution Act, 1982.
• Keeping the mystery in the relationship. The team will pick some last-minute quick hits, sure to warm the hardest hearts!

This session will be presented in English.
