What’s New in Case Law Since Our Last Webinar; Prompt Payment, Adjudication, Priority Disputes and More!
The impact is broad-reaching within the construction industry, with the Ontario Court of Appeal delivering verdicts which will impact the application of transition provisions governing the Prompt Payment regime and Adjudication, as well as priority disputes between lien and mortgage claimants following an insolvency. Finally, we will also chat about a potentially upcoming major shift, a Constitutional question currently before the Divisional Court; whether the Act can limit the court’s ability to judicially review the determination of an Adjudicator following an adjudication.
The Latest Changes to Ontario’s Excess Soil Regulations: How Owners, Contractors and Excavation Trades Can Manage Evolving Risks
The tenth round of changes to O Reg 406/19 (Excess Soils) came into effect late last year, coming with it a delay to the prohibition on the deposit of excess soil at landfilling or dump sites, which has been pushed to January 1, 2027, and greater flexibility in both types of reuse projects and types of excess soils appropriate for reuse. Join us as we provide an overview of the structure and technical requirements (as well as the latest changes) to Ontario’s excess soil regulation with our guest, Stacy Meek, who is an environmental engineer and qualified person (QP) at EXP Services Inc.
Navigating Ontario Construction Settlements: Partial Settlements, Disclosure Obligations, and Recent Developments in Ontario Case Law
In Ontario, settling a construction dispute requires navigating agreed upon terms and the strict provisions of the Construction Act. The process is rarely a simple two-party handshake, as obligations are owed to others on the project and all are bound by statutory provisions and trust obligations. Join us to discuss settlements, partial settlement, disclosure obligations, recent decisions of Ontario Courts, and everything in between.
You’ve received a Notice of Adjudication! – Adjudication from the Respondent’s Perspective
You’ve received a Notice of Adjudication, what now? In this webinar, we will discuss our experience with adjudication of construction contracts in Ontario from the Respondent’s lens. We will walk you through the timelines and processes of how to participate in an adjudication as a Respondent and the consequence of burying your head in the sand and not participating. Further, as construction disputes are increasingly directed to adjudication, we will guide you on how to best protect yourself on a day to day basis throughout work on your construction improvement.
After the Award: How to Collect and Enforce a Determination, Order, Or Judgement
In this webinar, we will discuss Garnishment, Examination, Writs of Seizure and Sale, Liens, and calculating interest. We will walk you through the steps to enforce your rights and affect recovery of the debt you are owed with a successful order, judgment, or determination. From seeking recovery from “judgment-proof” parties and those who would seek to conceal their funds and assets to those who are “good for it” and whom you may want to continue a business relationship with, we will discuss the best way to approach each debtor on a case-by-case basis.
