CLEBC Wins International

ACLEA Awards for Programs

and Technology

CLEBC is honoured once

again to receive awards of

outstanding achievement from

the Association for Continuing

Legal Education (ACLEA). Nadia

Myerthall, Program Lawyer, and

Meredith Woods, Manager

Online Education and Resources,

travelled to Boston, MA in

August to accept the Awards

of Outstanding Achievement in

both Programs and Technology.

The Programs award is for our

work in educating the profession

PROGRAMS AWARD

The New Family Law Act— Educating And Training The Legal Profession

On March 31, 2013 the Family Law Act (“FLA”) came into force and the landscape of divorce and separation in British Columbia changed dramatically. The legislation impacted all family law practitioners and their staff, as well as other groups such as estate planning and corporate lawyers. Faced with the challenge of developing programs to meet the needs of various groups of learners, we developed a series of programs which totaled over 510 hours of training on the Family Law Act.

These programs were an organization-wide effort, with staff and volunteers teaming up to produce a variety of learning options, including:

• full-day in-person courses and webinars• short online courses• skills-based training in screening for family violence, arbitration, mediation, and

parenting coordination• Family Law Act Transition Guide (publication)

We used a variety of learning methods including PowerPoint lectures, panel discussions, demonstrations, and role-playing exercises.

This series of programs allowed us to deliver cutting edge substantive, practical, and academic content which provided legal professionals with an advanced look at the future of family law in our province.

TECHNOLOGY AWARD

Self-Paced eLearningSelf-Paced eLearning courses offer a way for members of the legal community to learn and earn CPD credit by watching an online course on demand and at your own pace.

Self-Paced eLearning brings a new level of flexibility to the continuing legal education landscape. We created this format to appeal to a variety of learners, including those who do not have access to our usual course locations, or the time to devote to a full-day course.

You can complete a Self-Paced eLearning course by watching a short, previously-recorded webinar which is divided into segments of two to eleven minutes. Each segment has a title and a clickable thumbnail image, making it easy to move around the course content and review and concentrate on the parts that are of interest to you. There are opportunities to test your knowledge and reflect on the content by answering questions between segments. Your answers are saved when you exit the program, allowing you to return and complete the course later.

These dynamic and interactive courses give you full control of the order in which you view the content, when and how often you view the content and reference materials, and when you answer or re-answer the questions.

We select our Self-Paced eLearning courses based on their broad applicability and long-term relevance. Most offer credit for professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management.

Check out our complete list of award-winning Self-Paced eLearning options at www.cle.bc.ca and take advantage of the opportunity to learn on your own and at your own pace (see page 19).

Aboriginal rights and title has been one of the major newsmakers

of 2014 and you’ll get the stories behind the headlines at this

year’s Aboriginal Law Conference on November 13, 2014.

The conference begins with an in-depth examination of the implications of the Tsilhqot’in decision. You’ll hear from counsel for the parties as they decipher the new vocabulary of a post-Tsilhqot’in world: what do “consent”, “proportionality”, and “minimal impairment” mean now? This topic is followed by two wide-ranging sessions that will cover the major case law over the past year along with a summary of legislative amendments. The annual update includes the latest cases on consultation and accommodation along with jurisdictional issues related to Aboriginal title and treaty rights. A panel of representatives from private practice, industry, and government will discuss federal and provincial regulatory changes affecting interests in multiple areas of natural resources.

The afternoon will focus on navigating Aboriginal and environmental issues in large resource development projects. With British Columbia poised to undertake various major natural resource projects in the near future, you’ll want to find out how best to build a legacy of negotiation and shared success for all concerned.

Featured speaker Bill Gallagher, author of Resource Rulers: Fortune and Folly on Canada’s Road to Resources, will discuss the rise of First Nations empowerment in Canada’s resources sector. His presentation will unearth insights behind the remarkable legal winning streak in court cases brought by First Nations in the Canadian resource sector.

The conference brings together faculty members who have been carefully selected to represent diverse practices and points of view. From Aboriginal law practitioners to representatives from government organizations and natural resources companies, each presenter brings a unique background to the day’s discussions.

Stay current with the changes in Aboriginal law.

LITIGATION

The Great Examination for Discovery: Principles and Principal Techniques Tuesday, November 25, 2014; 9:00 am – 4:30 pm*Optional ethics session: a Self-Paced eLearning course, 1 – 2 hours completed on your own time over any 2 weeks before December 31, 2014Pan Pacific Hotel, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: All litigators interested in learning proven techniques for examina-tions for discovery.


If done right, the questioning of the opposing party in an examination for discovery is an intellectually rigorous discipline…requiring the diligent and skillful application of the logical rules that best exploit case theory opportunities and best attack case theory problems. All litigators should have studied the discipline’s dozens of rules while still in law school, and, later on, should have observed their law firms’ experienced litigators effectively employ those rules in every adverse examination for discovery. Yet, sadly, the vast majority of litigators practice for an entire career without ever truly understanding this crucial syllogism: Trial is argument. Examination for discovery is trial. Thus, examination for discovery is argument.

Through the use of highly-entertaining video clips of many high profile cross-examinations, the program analyzes and illustrates how to conduct great adverse examinations for discovery…every time out.

LSBC CPD HOURS: 6.5 hours. *If you complete a Self-Paced eLearning course before December 31, 2014, you will obtain 1 CPD hour which involves professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management.

Attacking the Expert’s Opinion at Trial Learn the one, right logical method a cross-examiner must understand

Wednesday, November 26, 2014; 9:00 am – 4:30 pm*Optional ethics session: a Self-Paced eLearning course, 1 – 2 hours completed on your own time over any 2 weeks before December 31, 2014Pan Pacific Hotel, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: All litigators interested in learning proven techniques to deal with experts at trial.


Experts are typically the most dangerous trial witnesses because, testifying cloaked with the mantle of the “truth-seeking, seen-it-all-before scientist,” their opinion can determine a major issue, maybe the entire case. Yet, they can also be the trial’s most vulnerable witnesses because, unlike fact witnesses who must principally defend only their first-hand observations, experts can be attacked on several fronts: science, integrity, qualifications, and thoroughness. The focus of this seminar is the one, right, logical method the trial cross-examiner must understand to most effectively attack the “scientific merits” of the expert’s opinion... no matter the field of expertise.

Civil Litigation in BC Symposium Rules, culture, and change

Wednesday, November 19, 2014; 9:00 am – 4:00 pmPan Pacific Hotel, 999 Canada Place, VancouverREBROADCAST: “Jump Start on CPD”: Friday, March 27, 2015; 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Civil litigators at all levels of practice experience.


It has been more than three years since British Columbia adopted a new set of Supreme Court Rules to govern civil litigation—rules aimed to make civil justice more efficient and affordable. It would be fair to say that the 2010 Civil Rules have only partially realized the lofty goals that were set out for them.

This course will review the jurisprudence that has developed under the 2010 Rules to more deeply under-stand whether change for the better has been realized, and the factors that have shaped, and continue to shape, the evolution of the Rules in practice. We will examine the theoretical and practical challenges of improving civil justice and what this entails for the bench and bar going forward.

AT THIS COURSE YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT.. .

• the impact of the 2010 Rules on civil litigation practice

• litigation and its evolving status relative to other dispute resolution mechanisms

• the lessons of other jurisdictions that have sought improved civil justice

• the current front line practice issues and pointers that the 2010 Rules have given rise to

• the impact of technology on litigation practice and how to prepare for coming changes

LSBC CPD HOURS: 6 hours (a minimum of 1 hour will involve aspects of professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)

10th ANNUAL EDITION

We appreciate our volunteer contributors. Here we share a glimpse of what they are doing and how they have devoted their valuable time and expertise to meet and plan, write, speak, and commit to the successful development of continuing legal education in our province. They give, we learn, and the benefits are immeasurable.

In the spotlight...

Mark DaviesMark Davies is a partner at BC’s oldest law firm, Richards Buell Sutton LLP. His areas of expertise are corporate, commercial and real estate law, with specialties in realization, secured transactions, and insolvency topics ranging from debtor re-organizations and workouts to bankruptcy and creditor remedies.

Mark has acted for numerous financial institutions, private lenders, and businesses in enforcing remedies, restructuring, and advising distressed businesses. He also advises in both the lending and realization areas of personal property security law with a particular emphasis on priority issues.

Mark is on the editorial board of CLEBC’s BC Personal Property Security Act Practice Manual and is chair of the upcoming CLEBC seminar on PPSA.

How and why did you get involved with CLEBC?My first CLEBC experience was in the previous geological era, sometime in the 80’s. That uncovered a latent urge to tell other people what to do. Teaching allows an opportunity to thump one’s chest without immediate contradiction, such as by smarty pants lawyers. A little later, the connection between teaching and learning (in order to teach) dawned on me, leading to more chest thumping.

What are you are currently working on (or have most recently worked on) with CLEBC? Paul Bradley, Don Bird and I have recently overseen the 2014 update of the BC PPSA Practice Manual. In early 2015 I will be involved with the first CLEBC seminar on PPSA in several years.

What has been your most memorable CLEBC experience?Probably surviving the first one relatively unscathed. CLEBC seminars weren’t videotaped then, but it was still a trial of nerves to assert to a large audience that I was worth listening to while refraining from yawning or snickering. I was relieved to then be able to resume my practice instead of having to seek a new career.

What’s the most valuable piece of advice you have received? The bit about the birds and the bees. After that, to concern myself with reputation (read Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities). Although you can fool many people much of the time, now we have the Internet, and cameras in elevators. And lawyers are incurable gossips. After all, who decided we need confidentiality agreements and privacy legislation!

What advice would you give newcomers who are interested in working in the legal profession? To check their motives. At the same time as everybody hates lawyers, they all want their children to become one. While most legal recruits are likely motivated by visions of paycheques, the forgotten benefit is to learn how to work effectively within the structures that govern our increasingly complex society. If you don’t learn it for yourself, you’ll probably have to hire lawyers to advise you. That’ll teach you.

What has been the most rewarding part of your career? Working with and getting to know so many intelligent, capable, and engaging (most of them anyway) people has been an un-anticipated and profound personal benefit of my legal career.

Other than law, what are you passionate about? I’m not passionate so much about law but about the things law enables, such as being able to play pool without having to duck bullets. I am passionate about many products of civilization: books, better food, wine, toilet paper ...

What are some of your favourite legal resources? (blogs, websites, etc.) Not keen on legal blogs and websites. CLEBC manuals are often the best place to start investigating a legal dilemma.

Anything you’d like to shamelessly promote? (favourite charity, social cause, etc.) Yes, not stuffing absolutely everything imaginable into the com-puter. I’ve had a lot of fun with reality and I find virtual reality a lot like fast food; it makes for a good photo op but lacks the real meal deal.

Haghdust v. British Columbia Lottery Corp., 2014 BCSC 1327 [CLE # 56422]

Since the Jackpot Entitlement Rules of the defendant BC Lottery Corporation

[BCLC] were not properly and validly enacted by its Board in 2008, the BCLC

had no authority to withhold jackpot prizes from persons who had signed

voluntary self-exclusion forms prior to the amendment to s. 93(3) of the

Gaming Control Act in 2010.

Since the late 1990s, the defendant British Columbia Lottery Corporation [BCLC] had

a “VSE” program under which a patron could sign a voluntary self-exclusion form

[VSE Form]. The representative plaintiffs signed VSE Forms, L. in April 2007 and H.

in November 2007. On 30 October 2008 the BCLC Board of Directors purported to

approve the “Jackpot Entitlement Rules” in regard to persons who were voluntarily

self-excluded. Those rules, which provided, inter alia, that “No VSE Individual shall be

eligible to receive a Jackpot Prize”, were implemented on 1 April 2009. In September

2009 and June 2010 H. was denied two jackpot prizes totalling some $35,000; in January

2010 L. was denied a jackpot prize of $42,484. When the Rules were approved in 2008,

the Gaming Control Act [GCA] provided, in s. 92, that the BCLC had the right to refuse

entry to a gaming facility. In June 2010 the GCA was amended to, inter alia, add the

right to refuse entry to “a participant in a voluntary self-exclusion program”, and to

add s. 93(3), which disentitled from prizes persons to whom written notice had been

delivered in accordance with s. 92 (b). The plaintiff class, who were participants in the

VSE Program, sought recovery of jackpot prizes they won when they gambled at various

casinos operated on behalf of BCLC which were withheld. On a summary trial of the

class proceeding, the court held that, because the Jackpot Entitlement Rules were not

validly enacted in 2008 and could not be enforced against the plaintiff class, BCLC had

no authority to withhold jackpot prizes from the plaintiff class before the enactment

of s. 93(3) of the GCA in 2010. However, it was entitled to withhold jackpot prizes from

the plaintiff class thereafter. The reason the Jackpot Entitlement Rules were not validly

enacted in October 2008 was that the rules approved by the Board did not include any

reference to jackpot ineligibility. BCLC was liable for breach of contract in relation to the

jackpot prizes it was not entitled to withhold.
