Client: ExxonMobil Canada

In August, 2017, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by Northrock Resources from the dismissal of a $78 million claim for damages against ExxonMobil Canada for alleged breach of a right of first refusal. Northrock has since decided against seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Howard Gorman Q.C. and Gunnar Benediktsson acted for ExxonMobil Canada.
