CDL – Constitutional Challenges to the MIG Audioconference

Audioconference – Wednesday December 6, 2017 12:30pm EDT

In the recent preliminary issue decision of Abyan and Sovereign General, Arbitrator Drory found that the definition of “minor injury” in the Statutory Accidents Benefits Schedule—Effective September 1, 2010 was unconstitutional as infringing upon Section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the basis of physical disability.  Subsequent to this decision, insurers are being faced with a slew of constitutional challenges on claims involving the Minor Injury Guideline.

On December 6, join Catherine Korte, McCague Borlack LLP, counsel for Sovereign General, as well as Philippa Samworth , Dutton Brock LLP, for a discussion of this decision and how insurers and defence counsel can respond to constitutional challenges as they arise.

Chaired by Danielle Gauvreau, Lerners LLP
