Davis LLP's Blair Shaw and David Stratton, Q.C. have
published the article "Dispute Resolution Provisions: Avoiding
the Limitations Act Trap" in the May/June 2014 issue
of Construction Business magazine. Delving into two recent
decisions of the Alberta Court of Appeal, they emphasize the
importance for parties who have entered into a commercial contract
that contains "either a singular mandatory arbitration clause,
or a multi-stage dispute resolution process" to commence
arbitration within the limitation period when a dispute arises,
"or risk losing the right to claim altogether."
