- Disorder in the Courts: The Duty of Care after Cooper [PDF]
Description: In its 2001 decision in Cooper v. Hobart , the Supreme Court of Canada attempted to clarify and restate the Anns two-stage test for expansion of the duty of care. A confusing and largely conservative wave of lower court decisions has been the unintended result. The outcome of many of these lower court decisions has been the termination of claims of negligent harm without trial. - The Test for Jury Trial in Personal Injury Cases [PDF]
Description: Two opposing ideals of excellence in binding civil dispute resolution vie for control in Canada today. One looks to the jury for excellence in fact finding, including assessment of damages. The other looks to professional judges. Both models view fact finding in civil cases as a social construct, influenced by community policies and values. - Opportunities for Excluding Expert Evidence [PDF]
Description: The best defence expert evidence is the evidence the trial court never hears.

FAQs
General
- If you go to court and lose, is it always the practice of the judge to make the plaintiff pay the costs?
- What is the difference between a judgment and a settlement?
- I slipped at a department store about 4½ hours ago. I didn't fall, but I definitely pulled muscles. I don't know if I should wait until tomorrow to see if that is all it is or if I should seek medical attention tonight. Should I go to the emergency room or should I contact the department store and ask them if they have a physician I should go to?
