WILLS & TRUSTS: LITIGATING THE COMPLEX ESTATE
Celebrating the benefits of hybrid meetings, the Wills & Trusts–Vancouver Section hosted a case comment led by Doe Kyung Lee, Fasken, on Simpson v Zaste, 2022 BCCA 208. Members also heard from Roger Lee, DLA Piper, Mark Weintraub, Clark Wilson LLP and Tara Britnell, Hamilton Duncan, about how to manage complex estate litigations and how to build your toolkit. This meeting brought together over 100 online attendees and 33 in-person to engage with speakers and gather key takeaways.
SECTIONS JOIN FORCES: CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON TREATY RIGHTS
The Aboriginal Law & Natural Resources Law Sections hosted a much-anticipated presentation from Maegan Giltrow, KC, Partner at Ratcliffe LLP and co-counsel on the 160-day trial, Vahey V British Columbia. Members were given an overview on the case starting points, key issues and the implementation agreement for this landmark decision.
CONNECTING IN-PERSON: MASTER SHADOWING RETURNS!
Worth the wait! New lawyers enjoyed a sneak peek at a day in the life of a Supreme Court Master with the return of our sell-out Master Shadowing program. Now offered in Kelowna, Victoria and Vancouver, participants attend an informal dinner with the Master followed by a full day of learning the do’s and don’ts of Chambers practice.
