Providing corporate and commercial litigation services in Calgary and throughout Canada
February 2009
Madam Justice A. Kent of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta has granted the application of Richard N. Billington, Q.C. to appoint a receiver over land where a major excavation was abandoned, creating a public safety hazard. The site in question, Manchester Station, in south Calgary near Chinook Centre, has been subject to an Order made by the City under the Municipal Government Act, but that Order has not been complied with. The City retained Billington Barristers to also seek an injunction against the defaulting owner who was also committing a trespass on neighbouring land.
Our lawyers provide representation in a wide range of disputes and complex court cases, acting for clients locally and across Canada. Billington Barristers represents individual and corporate clients whether they are a plaintiff or a defendant in a dispute. Our lawyers often act on referrals from other law firms where there is a conflict of interest, a complex litigation matter, or as a court-appointed Independent Supervising Solicitor in specializing injunction matters.
