NEW YORK - Nov. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled:Cross-Border Litigation in Canada: What US Lawyers Need to Know. This two-hour event is scheduled on December 03, 2015 at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET.

Event Synopsis:


Even though Canada and the U.S. are close neighbors, disputes can spread across the borders. However, it would be misguiding to assume that procedural rules and rights of the U.S. legal system would apply in Canada. There are many significant differences that could have affect litigation strategies. Cases such as Treat Canada Ltd. v. Leonidas and Catalyst Fund General Partner I Inc. v. Hollinger Inc. show that Canadian courts avoid addressing the risk of self-incrimination in cross-border disputes in favor of protecting the right. But, such an approach relies on the United States enforcing such safeguards.

It is unclear how U.S. courts will treat conditions imposed by Canadian courts and how they will apply the Fifth Amendment to incriminating evidence obtained in Canada. Whether foreign nationals are protected by the Fifth Amendment in U.S. proceedings when interrogated abroad has not been answered by the U.S. Supreme Court. There are a variety of U.S. cases in which bounty hunters have kidnapped and returned to the U.S. people with arrest warrants located outside the U.S. Despite concerns about principles of comity, sovereignty, and violation of extradition treaties, such conduct has not been found to shock the conscience of the U.S. court.

Understanding some of the important features of the Canadian legal system is critical to ensuring success in litigation of cross-border disputes in a Canadian court.

This CLE course offered by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview of the latest trends, critical issues, and best practices relating to Cross-Border Litigation in Canada.
