Insurance Industry Day at the Dome.

Recently, members of HMC Lawyers had the opportunity to spend an afternoon at the Rogers Centre alongside clients, colleagues, and friends from the insurance industry.

The strongest professional relationships are built through collaboration, trust, and shared experiences. Events like these provide a valuable opportunity to connect outside the office while strengthening the relationships that support our work and our clients.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a great day of baseball and industry camaraderie.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s recent decision in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia marks a significant development in Canadian tort law, recognizing a new tort of intimate partner violence based on patterns of coercive and controlling behaviour.

In our latest blog, we explore what this landmark decision means, why existing torts were found to be insufficient, and how the new cause of action may impact future family law and civil litigation claims.

Can you appeal an arbitration award? Only if your arbitration agreement says you can.

A recent Alberta Court of King's Bench decision is a timely reminder that the fine print matters. A right to appeal on questions of "law or fact" does not automatically include questions of mixed fact and law.

The Court also reinforced that:

▪️Exclusion of crucial evidence can be procedurally fair;

▪️Arbitrators have broad discretion in managing evidence; and

▪️Strategic choices made during the arbitration can have lasting consequences on appeal.

The takeaway? Careful drafting at the outset and disciplined decision-making during the hearing can make all the difference.

Our latest blog discusses Medicine Hat v. Fieldcore and what it means for parties involved in commercial arbitration in Alberta.

We were pleased to act for Fieldcore Service Solutions Canada Company on the appeal, with David J. Corrigan, KC and Taylor Hudson appearing for the respondent.

As Stampede comes to a close, we are reflecting on a number of meaningful opportunities to connect with clients and industry partners. Among them was the Calgary Construction Association's Stampede BBQ, which HMC Lawyers LLP was proud to sponsor.

The event brought together professionals from across Alberta's construction sector and provided a great opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and build new connections. We are grateful to the Calgary Construction Association for hosting another successful event and for its continued leadership within the industry.

HMC Lawyers remains committed to supporting Alberta's construction community and the people who help build it.

HMC Lawyers LLP had an incredible time at motionball for Special Olympics, an annual fundraiser supporting the Special Olympics. The day was filled with great energy and community spirit, made even more special by spending time with the inspiring athletes.

We always value the opportunity to support such an important cause and are proud to be part of an event that celebrates inclusion, teamwork, and perseverance. Already looking forward to being back next year.

Construction delay and disruption claims are rarely straightforward and often turn on how issues are documented and addressed in real time.

In our latest blog, we share practical insights on how owners, contractors, and project teams can better manage delay and disruption claims, protect their position, and avoid disputes escalating unnecessarily.

Worth a read for anyone involved in complex construction projects.
