On November 21, 2022, Torys LLP and Thornton Grout Finnigan LLP held an event on “Everything Junior Litigators Need to Know about the Commercial List.”

Multi-national insolvencies often spawn complex litigation in multiple jurisdictions. In Sociedad Concesionaria Metropolitana De Salud SA v Webuild SPA, the Commercial List was asked to enforce a Chilean arbitral award against the Canadian assets of an Italian company that had acquired certain assets of the unsuccessful – and now insolvent – party to the arbitral proceedings. Justice Steele found that Ontario had proper jurisdiction over the respondent, but issued a rare temporary stay of the enforcement proceedings until a threshold issue could be determined by the Italian courts.
