Guest Speaker – Brock Turville
Lawyer, DWF Canada
Brock is a lawyer at DWF with a focus on hospitality and liquor liability, professional liability, and sports liability. Brock successfully defended a local bar in a motion for an interlocutory injunction. The plaintiff, a tenant who lived next to the bar, brought a motion seeking an order that the bar be prohibited from making any noise during certain hours, amongst other things. The plaintiff’s motion was dismissed in its entirety, a significant cost award was obtained, and the bar continues to operate. Brock also has experience in dealing with self-represented litigants. He has successfully brought motions to dismiss claims for being frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process early in the litigation process, saving significant time and expense.
