Review Reference #R0239077

Our client was a Search and Rescue Volunteer that developed PTSD due to his exposure to many traumatic events, which prevented him from working at his regular job. WorkSafeBC tried to set his wage rate at the statutory minimum of $10 per week because his injuries related to his volunteer work. We sought a review of this decision and the Review Division overturned the Board. As a result, our client now receives fair compensation.

Roy v. Tailwind Management Systems and others, 2013 BCHRT 258

The employer brought an application to dismiss our client’s human rights claim after she was terminated from employment during a medical leave. The Tribunal dismissed the application and found the case should proceed. The case was subsequently resolved before the hearing.

Royal Bank of Canada v. Seikhon Farms et al., 2014 BCSC No. B081815, Vancouver Registry

Chris was co-counsel in defending a large Abbotsford farming operation in an action brought by the Royal Bank for $800,000. We third-partied several other businesses involved in the transaction in question. One of the third parties was in bankruptcy and applied for an absolute discharge, which would have prevented our client from continuing the third party claim. We argued against the application and it was dismissed. The case was settled soon after this.
