Berkley D. Sells

Berkley Sells moderates a teleseminar discussing the Ontario Court of Appeal summary judgement for Combined Air v. Flesch. The teleseminar's panel examines the decision's implications, discussing: 

• Gaining a full appreciation of the new "full appreciation" test
• Determining what cases will now be appropriate for summary judgment
• Where are we now relative to the pre-rule change state?
• The fate of the "mini-trial": when and how it can be used
• What exactly is a "trial narrative", and how will you persuade a judge that it is necessary or unnecessary to resolve a case?
• How clear is the guidance given, and is there room for further refinement?
• Does the court's decision assist with the underlying civil justice reform goals of increasing efficiency, proportionality and access to justice?
• What we can learn from the disposition of the five specific appeals at issue
• Recent motions applying the new test
• How will this case impact on other areas of civil practice and procedure?
