Local Lawyer Receives Mainland Recognition
Posted on Jun 05, 2009
June 5, 2009
For the first time in its 20 year history, an Ontario trial lawyer organization has recognized an out-of-province lawyer for a prestigious award.
Last week, the 1100 member Ontario Trial Lawyers Association awarded the Hillyer Award for trial advocacy to St. John's native Ches Crosbie, Q.C.
The award is made to an individual who promotes access to justice through "fearlessly advancing the cause of individual rights by the effective use of trial advocacy."
Past awards have been made exclusively to leading members of the Ontario trial bar who "exemplify the spirit" of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association. The award is made usually but not necessarily annually.
Mr. Crosbie has come to recent national attention as the lawyer for the victims of breast cancer tests in Newfoundland and Labrador which were botched between 1997 and 2005. Similar testing problems have recently come to light in Quebec.

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?
