Contract Law Update: Developments of Note

Presented by the CBA Alberta CCCA & Business Law South Sections

On March 31, 2025, Lawson Lundell lawyer Lisa Peters, KC, hosts her 16th annual Contract Law Update which will be online. Every year, Lisa undertakes a review of decisions from the previous 12 to 18 months, looking for cases relevant to the commercial law practice. Her review focuses on cases that have led to significant changes to the law of contract, instances where the Supreme Court of Canada weighed in on a contract law issue, and highlighting cases that remind us of longstanding contract law principles and how those principles apply in practice.This year's topics are: 1) Exclusion clauses in contracts for the sale of goods; 2) Illegal contracts at common law; 3) Penalty clauses, relief from forfeiture and unconscionability; 4) Survival clauses; 5) Forum selection clauses; 6) Update on good faith jurisprudence; and 7) Privity of contract and arbitration clauses.

*Please note, this section meeting will be 90 minutes.

SPEAKER

Lisa Peters, K.C. (Senior Counsel at Lawson Lundell LLP)
