Join Sean Parker and Anna Fitz for a webinar focusing on how courts and environmental tribunals award costs for parties participating in environmental hearings in Alberta. This webinar will address:

  • The authority of the courts and various tribunals to award costs and how they exercise their discretion in doing so;
  • When costs may be available and how and when to ask for them;
  • What to expect as a participant in a hearing;
  • Potential for intervenor funding; and, 
  • Implications of recent case law.

The expense of participating in an environmental hearing can be significant. Parties often seek to recover legal and other expenses by applying for a cost award. The courts and various tribunals that conduct hearings in Alberta have different authority to award costs, and different practices when deciding whether to give costs and if so, in what amount. The webinar will provide an overview of what can be expected in terms of a potential cost award or funding when participating in environmental hearings in Alberta.

Who Should Attend: This webinar is designed for project proponents, landowners, expert witnesses and anyone else who may participate in an environmental hearing.
