Product description

In today's competitive business climate, it often seems the question isn't whether a business owner will be involved in a dispute, but rather when it will occur. The guidance and explanations in this new release, Litigating and Arbitrating Business Disputes, focus on reducing the prospect of such disputes and minimizing their impact when they become unavoidable.


Offering insightful perspectives

Litigating and Arbitrating Business Disputes is a carefully curated compilation of professional development presentations delivered by noted business litigator, arbitrator and mediator Igor Ellyn over the past several years. The sections have been adapted and updated to produce an easy to use and understand text that will be invaluable to both lawyers and business owners.


This excellent resource discusses many of the issues Ontario litigation and arbitration lawyers confront when dealing with business disputes, including:

  • The ways business owners can prevent or reduce the negative consequences of business disputes when they arise
  • The application of the Rules of Civil Procedure to business disputes
  • A discussion of corporate law, especially shareholders' remedies and oppression
  • An analysis of the steps involved in a lawsuit
  • An analysis of many aspects of trial evidence, including dealing with expert witnesses
  • An insightful overview of mediation and arbitration procedures
  • A primer on appellate law, including an explanation of the standard of appellate review

In addition, the structure of this practical guide makes it perfect for everyday use: the relevant rules and extensive case law are easy to review and provide a quick reference to all aspects of the litigation and arbitration process. Counsel will find the cross-examination and discovery pointers useful to help clients for an all-important aspect of their case.
