The MBA wants to show non-members what they're missing!!
DATE: Monday, April 19, 2021
Time: 12:00 Noon – 1:30pm
Location: On-Line – Zoom Video Conference
TOPIC: Construction Deficiencies and Limitation Periods
SPEAKERS:
Jon Woolley, Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP
Michael Weinstein, MLT Aikins LLP
This session is being presented jointly by the Civil Litigation Section and the Construction & Infrastructure Law Section of the MBA. In matters involving construction, it is not uncommon for deficiencies giving rise to causes of action to occur over a period of time. When does a cause of action crystallize? When is it too late to bring a lawsuit for damages? What can lawyers expect in this context if the new Limitation of Actions Act comes into force?
