  • UMA/B&V Ltd. et al. v. SaskPower International et al., 2007 SKQB 40, 2007 SKCA 40, 2007 CanLII 40508 (S.C.C.).

  • Counsel for Cargill Canada Ltd. in a construction lawsuit related to delays and cost overruns that was successfully settled at pre-trial conference; see 2010 SKQB 231 for successful Summary Judgment defence.
  • Counsel to an architectural firm in defence of allegations that a building design caused the acceleration of a fire that resulted in a total loss.
  • Successfully defended a major pipeline manufacturer when a defect was alleged to have caused significant losses after installation. The case was settled many months into trial and the manufacturer was completely exonerated.
  • Defended a mechanical engineering firm on a claim that their alleged negligent design caused pipes to freeze which in turn caused a flood and the virtual destruction of a newly constructed high-rise building. The engineering firm was absolved of all liability after trial (McNevin Construction v. George R Forrester et. al.)
  • Defended an architectural firm on a claim that their design of gymnasium roof was negligent, requiring its removal and replacement. The architect was absolved of any liability after trial and on appeal (U. of Regina v. Pettick).
