There are several ways to commence litigation at the Supreme Court, and not all of them utilize the same discovery process. Learn more in our article: https://sll.ca/the-civil-discovery-process/

🛴🚲 Electric scooters, e‑bikes, and boards are popping up everywhere across BC — offering fast, convenient, and eco‑friendly ways to get around. But with their rise comes an increase in personal injury incidents, often made worse when riders or drivers aren’t aware of the rules that apply to these devices.

Whether you ride them or simply share the road or pathways, understanding **liability and compensation** is essential. A little knowledge can go a long way in protecting yourself and others.

Stay informed. Stay safe. 🌿

Being appointed as an executor of an estate is an honour and a responsibility. It can also be stressful and time-consuming, especially if the estate is complex, with many assets, investments, bank accounts, and beneficiaries, all with different requirements and steps, like filing tax documents. It would be wise to ask for a copy of the will and review it carefully — ideally before the will-maker passes.
