Lexpert has named 21 Davies partners among Canada’s best litigators in its 2021 Lexpert Special Edition: Litigation, recognizing our team’s ability to secure winning results for our clients in complex, high-stakes commercial disputes.
In addition, Quebec (Attorney General) v 9147-0732 Québec inc., a landmark Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) case, was included in Lexpert’s Top 10 Cases of 2020-21, its annual list of the year’s most significant commercial decisions in Canada.
Davies represented the intervener Montréal Defence Lawyers Association in this case where the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) had to decide, for the first time, if the Charter protection against “cruel and unusual treatment or punishment” can be invoked by corporations as well as other legal persons. This case is one of very few corporate criminal law cases heard by the SCC. Read our bulletin “Corporations Cannot Suffer Cruel and Unusual Treatment or Punishment” for more details.
