Municipal Claims – The New Reality

Over the past few years, municipal claims have been impacted by a number of new factors. Some of these are increased damage awards, class action lawsuits, rising cost of future care and climate change. As the severity of awards increases so does the exposure on those who have deep pockets. Municipalities must concentrate their efforts to reduce both the frequency and severity of claims. This session will focus on new claims trends and the increasing duty of care placed on municipalities by Canadian courts. It will identify the root causes of claims and provide municipalities with ways to meet their statutory duty of care.
