Key Areas of General & Civil Litigation

Class Actions

Class action lawsuits allow multiple claimants with similar grievances to file a collective legal action against a defendant. These cases often involve consumer protection, product liability, employment violations, or financial fraud.

For details on active class action cases in BC, visit the BC Supreme Court Class Action Registry.

Employment & Labour Disputes

Employment law governs rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Northpoint Legal represents both employees and employers in disputes involving wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, severance agreements, and labour law compliance.

For employment law regulations, visit the BC Employment Standards Branch.

Food Recall Claims

Food-related legal claims often stem from contamination, mislabeling, or failure to disclose allergens. We represent individuals, businesses, and manufacturers in disputes arising from food product recalls.

For food safety regulations, visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Hospitality Liability

Hotels, restaurants, and event venues have legal obligations to ensure guest and employee safety. We handle claims involving personal injuries, premises liability, negligent security, and contract disputes in the hospitality sector.

Local Government & Municipality Liability

Municipalities must maintain public infrastructure and enforce bylaws fairly. When negligence in road maintenance, zoning decisions, or public safety enforcement results in harm, affected individuals and businesses may have legal recourse.

For information on municipal liability laws, visit the BC Local Government Act.

Nuisance & Trespass

Landowners have rights over their property, and legal action may be necessary when unauthorized interference occurs. Common claims include boundary disputes, excessive noise, pollution, and unauthorized land use.

For property rights and trespass laws, visit the BC Trespass Act.

Professional Liability

Professionals are expected to uphold industry standards, and failure to do so may lead to negligence claims. We represent plaintiffs and professionals in disputes involving legal malpractice, medical negligence, accounting errors, and professional misconduct.

For professional regulatory guidelines, visit the Law Society of British Columbia or the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC.

Property & Real Estate Claims

Real estate transactions and land ownership often give rise to legal disputes. Common claims involve contract breaches, construction defects, zoning conflicts, and title disputes.

For real estate laws, visit the BC Land Title and Survey Authority.

Wills & Estates Disputes

Estate conflicts often arise when beneficiaries dispute a will or an executor’s actions. We handle legal matters related to wills variation claims, estate mismanagement, and power of attorney disputes.
