    RECENT JUDICIAL DECISIONS 503 RECENT JUDICIAL DECISIONS OF INTEREST TO ENERGY LAWYERS BRYAN WALKER* AND LUCY L’HIRONDELLE** This article summarizes a number of recent judicial decisions of interest to energy lawyers. The authors review and comment on the past year’s case law in several areas including alternative dispute resolution, bankruptcy and insolvency, contractual interpretation (including operator agreements), competition law, corporate separateness, damages and limitations of liability, Indigenous law, torts, and selected developments relating to summary dismissal. Specific topics addressed include the interpretation of exclusion clauses; the reaffirmation of the principle of corporate separateness; confirmation that environmental cleanup costs take priority over creditors in bankruptcy proceedings; confirmation that the development, passage, or enactment of legislation does not trigger the duty to consult; and apportionment of liability and Pierringer agreements. For each case, some background information is provided, followed by a brief explanation of the facts, a summary of the decision, and commentary on the outcome.

  • Limitations and Undiscovered Historical Contamination
    It’s Not Dead, it’s Resting: Limitations and Undiscovered Historical Contamination March 31, 2017 Robert K. Omura The seemingly inexorable march is on. Following recent historical contamination cases such as Canada (Attorney General) v. MacQueen, 2013 NSCA 143 and Windsor v Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd., 2014 ABCA 108, it has become slightly more difficult to litigate historical contamination cases.1 In the latest case, Brookfield Residential (Alberta) LP (Carma Developers LP) v Imperial Oil Limited, 2017 ABQB 218, considering the extended limitations period provisions of the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. E-12 (“EPEA”), the duly diligent purchaser is left with no recourse against a solvent, “possible” polluter (the other “possible” polluters having disappeared from the jurisdiction) because of the prejudice to the historic “possible” polluter. The Facts The Plaintiff, Brookfield, was a residential developer in Edmonton. One of the defendants, Imperial Oil Limited, operated an oil well, battery and sump on lands owned by the defendant, Larry C. M. Darling, between 1949 and either 1950 or 1954. The well produced crude oil between 1950 and 1957. For some period, Imperial had a salt water storage tank on the site. The well license was assigned to Bay Petroleum in 1954, before passing to Bay’s successor, Tenneco, and then to Mr. Darling in 1961. From 1958 the well was used for salt water disposal. In 1961, Tenneco contracted with Mr. Darling to decommission, remove, and abandon the well.2 The land was later sold to William B. 1 It should be noted that MacQueen and Windsor were class proceedings which add a slight wrinkle to historic contamination cases as discoverability is an individual issue.

  • 1 Recent Judicial Decisions of Interst to Energy Lawyers
    RECENT JUDICIAL DECISIONS OF INTERST TO ENERGY LAWYERS MATTI LEMMENS1 AND BRETT CARLSON2 The past year was a busy one for the energy industry, with many reported decisions of significance. Key decisions regarding constitutional jurisdiction, duty to consult and judicial review kept the industry in a pattern of optimism and hesitancy. This article summarizes a number of recent judicial decisions and provides commentary on their significance to Canada’s energy industry. In particular, decisions reviewed in this article cover subjects including constitutional division of powers, the Crown’s duty to consult, oil and gas leases and purchase and sale agreements, environmental remediation and liability, insolvency, intellectual property, tax, remedies and injunctive relief, class actions, conflict of laws, arbitration and judicial review. In each case, the facts, a summary of the decision, and commentary on the outcomes and future implications for energy lawyers and the industry are canvassed.3 With the past year of decisions finishing with COVID-19 restrictions, the energy industry saw some of the most drastic change in recent memory. The industry will need to exercise perseverance in these tumultuous times in order to adapt, withstand and recover from the changes of this past year. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

    DECISION MAKING IN THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY DURING A BUSINESS CYCLE By JIMMY CARL WHITEHEAD M.Sc.(Planning), University of Toronto, 1971 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 1968 B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1962 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 1987 (c)Jimmy Carl Whitehead, 1987 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Geography The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6(3/81) Supervisor: Dr. Walter Hardwick ABSTRACT The property development industry in cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Denver and Houston experienced a boom characterized by compulsive speculative growth in the 1970's and then a dramatic collapse in 1982. In the wake of the collapse came a crisis in the financial as well as the development sector, which to 1987 is nowhere near resolved. The expansion and decline in the property development industry is seen as a subset of a classical business cycle fueled by the world oil and gas economy, Canadian government regional and economic policies, and changes in money supply and interest rates.
