I am looking forward to Chairing the upcoming Continuing Legal Education Society of BC Securities Litigation Conference on March 8, 2024. 

Since 2017, the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation has issued Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs) to support the enforcement of the Mines Act, associated regulations, and permits issued under the Act.

In a recent case, Chilwin Cheng and Janessa Mason obtained acquittals of all significant charges against two mining company executives in B.C.

Wang v. British Columbia (Securities Commission), 2023 BCCA 101 (CanLII)  

The state really is watching you: The courts blur, again, the distinction between public and private information in a regulatory prosecution. A case comment on R. v Saad, 2021 BCSC 1117 (CanLII).

In R. v Stevikova, the accused successfully appealed a sentence imposed after a conviction under the Wildlife Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 488.

Your phone rings. Your client is panicking. A regulator tells them that investigators and the police will be at their site the next day investigating an incident.

Most litigators who have benefitted from participating as counsel in a few trials can assess, with reasonable confidence, whether their client has a "strong" or a "weak" case.

In 2014, corporate and securities lawyers across Canada united with grave concern over the Ontario Superior Court of Justice's decision in Champion Iron Mines, 2014 ONSC 1988.
