At BWA, we like our music several decades old, but our law hot off the presses. Join us for September’s back-to-school edition of Breakfast With Appeal, where the music and lyrics will stick in your brain long after Andrew, Jeremy, David and Yael compete for exactly who gets the last word. This session’s mixtape includes:

• Side A: Who’s got the Power? In Canada (Attorney General) v. Power, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Charter claimants can potentially claim damages against the Crown for enacting unconstitutional legislation—but the threshold for seeking such damages remains high.
• Side B: I want to be your (legally enforceable) sledgehammer: Sellers of goods often attempt to exclude liability for implied warranties and conditions. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in Earthco Soil Mixtures Inc. v. Pine Valley Enterprises Inc. that such exclusions are legally enforceable.
• Bonus Track: Every breath you take, I’ll be (unlawfully) watching you: In York Region School District v. Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, the Supreme Court ruled that, in accordance with Charter rights, school board employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy regarding content on board-issued electronic devices.
• Merch: the BWA Mugs will be back! Participate in the Q&A and get a mug.

This session will be presented in English.
