Acting as co-counsel to Allstate Insurance Company of Canada in defence of a class action seeking statutory overtime, vacation and holiday pay on behalf of thousands of current and former Allstate employees.
Acted for Newmont Mining Corporation, Fronteer Gold Inc. and its founder Mark O’Dea in a successful defence against a claim for over C$1.2 billion in damages and other relief asserted by Jacqui Safra and his holding company, NWG Investments Inc. Safra alleged fraud and misrepresentation concerning a transaction in which Fronteer acquired a mineral exploration company he founded and controlled. Safra’s claim was commenced after the newly formed Government of Nunatsiavut imposed a moratorium on uranium mining in April 2008. Justice Steele of the Superior Court of Ontario dismissed the claim on the grounds of delay in August 2023. Mr. Safra’s appeal from the decision of Justice Steele was dismissed from the bench by the Court of Appeal for Ontario in May 2024.
