Rick Billington to Address the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

Richard Billington, QC will be speaking at the Calgary conference on Anton Piller Orders and Practice. The conference will be in May, 2021. Rick will be sharing his significant experience in these powerful orders that are used to preserve evidence that is at risk of destruction. They are most often used in cases involving fraud or theft of intellectual property. Presenting with Rick will be Greg Draper, head of forensic investigations at MNP. They will discuss practical issues in executing on what are informally known as “civil search warrants”, discussing cases that they have been involved in including a recent seizure of documents during the COVID – 19 pandemic. Rick will also update participants on recent judicial pronouncements and critique circumstances where these extraordinary remedies have been improperly obtained or executed. Rick Billington has acted as counsel in almost three dozen Anton Piller cases.
