👋 Are you thinking (or in the midst) of building a home in British Columbia? 🏡 Whether you're a developer, construction pro, contractor, designer, or homeowner, you'll want to read the latest article from Clark Wilson LLP Infrastructure, Construction & Procurement and Insurance lawyer Denny Chung, "Avoid Nightmares in Dream Home Construction: The Importance of Carefully Drafting and Following Your Construction Contract". In this piece, Denny analyzes a recent decision from The Supreme Court of British Columbia where a homeowner hired a contractor to build her residential home. While the parties did have a formal contract, extra work scope arose which increased the project cost and time. The owner argued that it was a fixed-price contract and, therefore, extras were the contractor's responsibility. Refusing to pay the final invoice, the contractor stopped work and sued the owner for payment — the owner then countersued for deficiencies and delay. So what factors did the court consider, and how did it end? What can we learn from this judgment?🤔 Read the full article to find out: https://bit.ly/3wmjfwQ Want timely and informative articles (just like this one) delivered directly to your inbox?

✨ ICYMI: Clark Wilson LLP’s Estates & Trusts partner and co-chair of the Estates & Trusts Opinion and Appeals group Polly Storey (she/her)’s paper, “Beneficiary’s Access to Trust Documents” has just been published in Thomson Reuters Westlaw’s Estates, Trusts & Pensions Journal. ✨ The question of a beneficiary’s access to trust documents has challenged courts and practitioners for decades. In Barbieri Estate v. White, 2023 BCSC 1176, a recent decision from The Supreme Court of British Columbia, Justice Blake had an opportunity to review, in unique circumstances, the different legal theories that have grounded a beneficiary’s access to trust documents. In this piece, Polly summarizes Barbieri v. White, a contentious case in which three siblings battled over their late mother’s estate. One of the children became the sole executor of the estate and started an action against his siblings about the disclosure of “privileged documents” which centred on his wishes to keep payments made to his lawyers confidential, despite being paid for by the proceeds of the mother’s estate. While lawyer-client privilege generally protects these documents, it is not consistent across all areas of law, including estate matters. Here, Polly dives into the three historical legal theories on the entitlement of beneficiaries to information and how they were applied in this landmark decision.
