Godwin and Tiana Reid's position that no exceptional circumstances justified deviating from the general principle that parties are bound by the strategic decisions made by their trial counsel when presenting arguments on damages.

WCAT No. A1604204
Chris represented the developer of a large construction project in Abbotsford that was fined almost $60,000 in two separate penalty orders for alleged safety contraventions on site.

As a result, the second penalty was cancelled altogether and the fine reduced to less than $30,000.
