Cases Considered: Tribute Resources Inc v. McKinley Farms Ltd, 2009 CanLII 33043 (ON S.C.)
PDF version: Ontario Oil and Gas Case of interest to the Calgary Bar.
While most of the country’s oil and gas cases are decided in Alberta courts (even if in some cases the property to which the litigation pertains is, for example, in British Columbia – see eg Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. v. Encana Oil & Gas Partnership, 2008 ABCA 267 dealing with right of first refusal issues in relation to a property in British Columbia), sometimes the courts in other Canadian jurisdictions do get to add to the body of Canadian oil and gas law.
