Recent Cases

These are some examples of recent cases.

Foreign-Exchange Trader Secures Six-Figure Settlement with Bank

Our client was a foreign-exchange trader. After an unexpected market shift, his trading institution closed his accounts, seized his funds and sued him for its alleged losses. Within six months of being retained, we turned the action around and secured a six-figure settlement for our client.

Small Business Secures Settlement with Insurer

Many of our clients are people and businesses whose insurance claims have been denied. Recently, the owner of a medium-sized business sought our assistance regarding a denied insurance claim concerning a theft from his business. He attended our offices on the eve of the expiry of his limitation period and we took immediate steps to preserve his rights. Within weeks, we secured a sizable settlement from the insurer.

Transport Operator Gets his Licence Back

Our client was a tractor-trailer operator who had lost an appeal before the Licence Appeal Tribunal regarding a revocation of his licence for failing a medical exam. We appealed the Licence Appeal Tribunal’s decision to the Divisional Court and relied on a recent statutory amendment to get his licence back.

Nurse Settles Constructive Dismissal Case Against Former Employer

Constructive dismissal actions can be challenging for former employees because the employee bears the burden of proving that the employer changed the circumstances of their employment so much that the employee was entitled to quit for good reason. Our client was just such a person.

We commenced a constructive dismissal action against a nurse’s former employer and secured her a favourable settlement at mediation. We often resolve our cases at mediation, long before our clients bear the time and expense of trial. We are firm believers in utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms to obtain cost-effective results in the shortest time possible.
