TevlinGleadle (Blair Curtis) wins Patrick Moore Jurisdiction Challenge

Patrick Moore, one of the key founders of Greenpeace is suing NextEnergy Inc. for wrongful dismissal damages in BC Supreme Court. NextEnergy Inc. applied for an order that the BC courts decline jurisdiction because of an allegation that Mr. Moore's employment law claims were not sufficiently connected to British Columbia.

TevlinGleadle (Blair Curtis) successfully opposed the application; Mr. Moore's claim for damages for breach of his employment agreement, through failure to provide proper advance notice of termination, will now be able to proceed to trial.

Reasons for Judgement of the Honourable Madam Justice Gerow are available at the link.
