One Great Case
Chiang (Trustee of) v. Chiang: The Dark Side of Civil Contempt w/ Tom Curry
We like to believe that contempt of court is simple: you break the rules, face the consequences, and if you comply, you earn your way back out. The law, we tell ourselves, is precise, structured, and fair.But what happens when the very order meant to restore accountability becomes the trap itself?This case, Chiang (Trustee of) v. Chiang, forces us to confront a deeply uncomfortable reality: that even systems designed to enforce justice can spiral into something coercive, endless, and structurally impossible to escape.What began as a routine commercial debt dispute...

Nuremberg Revisited: When Evil Was Obvious but the Law Wasn’t w/ David Parry
We tend to think of history’s great atrocities as moral failures that are obvious in hindsight. Evil acts, evil people, and clear lines between right and wrong.But the harder question (which still haunts legal systems today) is this: how do you turn moral certainty into legal accountability when the law itself doesn’t yet exist?That question has been back in public conversation recently with the release of the film Nuremberg. But it was never theoretical for the Allies in the wake of World War II. They weren’t just confronting the scale of the...

Ritualistic Repetition or Genuine Intent? Inside a Stunning Undue Influence Case w/ David Delagran & Justice Gilmore
Most people imagine undue influence as overt manipulation: a domineering child, a vulnerable parent, and a will that suddenly changes. But the reality, undue influence often looks like routine caregiving. That’s what made Abbruzzese v Tucci so striking. At first glance, it looked like a typical estate dispute. Instead, what emerged was a rare, almost textbook convergence of every factor litigators usually struggle to prove: isolation, dependency, capacity concerns, and a sudden transfer of the family home for no consideration.Then, everything changed when a single piece of evidence emerged; something you rarely see in...

Exploitation at the Ballet: The Case That Redefined Justice in Canada w/ Gillian Hnatiw
When we think of ballet, we think of grace, discipline, and the pursuit of perfection, not precedent-setting litigation. But within the walls of elite ballet institutions, the pursuit of perfection can blur into something darker: a culture of hierarchy, obedience, and silence.That silence is what made this case possible.Behind the curtain of one of Canada’s most prestigious ballet schools, a story unfolded that had nothing to do with art and everything to do with power. When the truth finally surfaced, the women seeking justice faced an even greater challenge…a justice system uneq...

The Strategy That Turned Two Lost Properties into a Mortgage-Free Victory w/ Neil Colville-Reeves
On paper, SEPUSAC v. 9706151 Canada Limited seemed like a routine mortgage enforcement dispute. A borrower defaulted, the lender sold the properties, and the matter looked destined for the standard path of foreclosure. But the case quickly revealed itself to be anything but ordinary. What unfolded over the next seven years exposed how vulnerable Ontario’s mortgage enforcement framework can be to abuse. Procedural stonewalling, shameless delay tactics, chaos, havoc, opaque numbered companies, and even the suing of a judge. This was the weaponization of the rules, deployed to exhaust a borrower, delay accountability, and deprive some...

Inside John Campion's Winning Strategy for the Biggest Mining Case in History
Long before the lawsuits, there was the story that captivated the world. Bre-X Minerals, a penny stock based in Calgary, claimed to have discovered the largest gold deposit in history deep in the jungles of Indonesia. Almost overnight, its market value soared into the billions, drawing in banks, governments, and some of the biggest players in mining.The frenzy was intoxicating. Ordinary investors saw life-changing fortunes appear on paper. Analysts assured the public they had “seen the gold.” Politicians and corporations scrambled for a stake in what looked like a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. Yet beneath the eupho...

Red Flags Everywhere…Even as Investors Poured Billions into Bre-X
A gold discovery that never was. Billions in market value wiped out. Investors are demanding answers, and banks are facing claims that could shake confidence in the entire financial system.The Bre-X scandal didn’t end when the gold vanished. In many ways, that’s when the real battle began. With billions lost and reputations in ruins, the courts became the new arena. The question was no longer whether the gold existed, but who would be held accountable for its disappearance.John Campion, senior litigator and partner at Gardiner Roberts LLP, was at the center of i...
