Controlled Goods Data: Overview of the Regulatory Framework
The Controlled Goods Program (“CGP”) is Canada’s domestic industrial security program, which regulates the examination, possession, and transfer of controlled goods.
Welcome to the latest edition of Corporate and commercial disputes review.
In this edition, we feature several emerging trends which are of key interest to our corporate clients in all industries. We focus on M&A disputes, claims against parent companies for the actions of their subsidiaries and the latest developments in relation to legal professional privilege.
A further, and perhaps surprising, trend is the recent run of cases concerning intention to create legal relations. We look at attempts to argue that binding contracts have been entered into in informal settings and lessons that this may have for the conduct of business.
We also review three recent Supreme Court decisions on the scope of professional negligence liability.
We examine the balance between public interest and commercial exploitation in the context of protecting shareholder information.
Finally, we examine new procedures for expedited arbitrations and the extent to which they will be appropriate for corporate disputes, and consider the topic of anti-suit injunctions.
