Breakfast With Appeal: The “playing footie with the court” edition

World Cup fever is sweeping Toronto and Vancouver (location of Torys’ newest office) and Breakfast with Appeal has jumped on the bandwagon (notwithstanding their well-recognized athletic deficits)! Join our impressive group of former mathletes as they hit the pitch and talk about all the exciting appellate cases.

• Home field advantage: In Taylor v. Newfoundland and Labrador, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld a province’s ability to impose inter-provincial travel restrictions in times of crisis.
• Play that back, ref: In Vandenbosch v. Rogers, the BC Court of Appeal ruled that amendments to a piece of provincial legislation were retrospective, not retroactive: meaning they apply to pre-existing contracts, but only up to a certain point.
• Wrong stadium: In Matiko John v. Barrick Gold Corporation, the Ontario Court of Appeal prevented plaintiffs from bringing a human rights lawsuit in Ontario against a Toronto-based company, ruling that the claim would have to be brought in Tanzania, not Canada.
• No paparazzi, please: In Clearview AI v. Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia, the BC Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal to quash a decision prohibiting an AI company from collecting, using and disclosing personal information collected from British Columbians without their consent.
