Municipal Liability: Traffic Collisions:
This three-day course provides an in-depth understanding of municipalities’ exposure to liability due to their legal obligation to provide safe road facilities to the public and how to avoid that costly exposure. The course explains the legal principle of “joint and several liability” in Canadian courts, and practical steps that municipalities can take to fulfill their legal obligations through proper design, inspection, maintenance, and documentation of road facilities. Several real-life examples are discussed to illustrate how municipalities have been found legally liable for their failure to ensure the safety of road users through proper design, inspection, maintenance, and documentation of road facilities.
The next offering of this course will be from November 4, 2025, to November 6, 2025, at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 5050 Creekbank Road, Mississauga Ontario L4W 5R2 . For more information and to register for the course, please click here.
