Join Erin Berney and John Gilbert for a complimentary webinar series designed for Condominium Boards and Managers based on the challenges seen most frequently: people, pets and parking.

On May 10 we will cover issues surrounding the integration of sustainable technologies in condo living, including:

• What legal frameworks support the implementation of green initiatives in condominiums, and how can boards navigate these regulations effectively?
• How can condo boards and property managers legally enforce sustainability standards without overstepping their boundaries?
• In the transition to greener practices, what legal considerations must be taken into account when retrofitting existing structures with new technologies?
• How should condominiums handle legal disputes arising from the implementation of sustainable practices, such as solar panel installations or water conservation measures?

Members of regulated professions who serve on discipline tribunals must navigate an increasingly complex environment when fulfilling their role under their governing statutes.

Join Gregory Sim and other members of Field Law’s Professional Regulatory group for the first installment of a half-day virtual workshop series. The first workshop is designed to provide tribunal members with limited experience with the tools needed to serve in their role effectively in any Canadian jurisdiction. Topics include:

• Overview of the professional conduct process
• Standard steps in contested and uncontested hearings
• How to respond to procedural objections
• Assessing allegations of unprofessional conduct
• Private/off duty conduct
• Avoiding reasonable apprehension of bias
• Considerations with respect to penalty
• Content of written reasons
• Engaging in effective caucus sessions
• Tips and traps for conduct of members of the discipline tribunal

The majority of the work done by Council members consists of governance with respect to the College’s regulatory functions and operations. Council members also have important adjudicative functions, and are also responsible for conducting reviews of decisions made with respect to registration and renewal of practice permits. Given the applicable duty of fairness, it is important for Council members to understand the registration process and the legal principles that they need to apply.

Join Katrina Haymond, KC and other members of Field Law’s Professional Regulatory Group for a 3-hour virtual workshop designed to provide Council members with the foundational knowledge needed to conduct effective reviews of registration and practice permit decisions.

The workshop will include a review of several scenarios to illustrate the principles addressed.
