Description

Environmental law's breaking developments are a good fit for the focussed approach of a six-minute program model. Our presenters cover key cases and policies, highlighting what you need to know about right now. This year, we address central professionalism concerns to help you practice ethically and effectively in an era of growing politicization. Obtain key regulatory and enforcement updates, hear about environmental and social governance issues for businesses, and get tips about best practices for working with environmental consultants.

When do Ontario courts uphold pollution exclusion clauses in insurance policies?
Must abandonment and reclamation obligations be discharged ahead of paying secured creditors?
What are the proposals to expand administrative penalties for environmental contraventions?
