A local government policy that articulates clear service levels and the particular circumstances where work is warranted is a key component to having a strong defence to any claim. Experienced local government liability defence lawyers Lindsay and Jeff will begin with an overview of the current state of the “policy defence” in Canadian law and discuss strategies, options, processes, and pitfalls in policy defence formulation and drafting. Following this session, they will lead an interactive workshop dedicated to reviewing, analyzing, and evaluating improvements to actual policies from the delegates’ own local governments.
