Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC v. Dutton et al. (BCSC)
Chantler+Company acted for defendants in a lawsuit and injunction application brought by Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, a Canadian subsidiary of international oil company Kinder Morgan. The oil company sought to conduct drilling work on Burnaby Mountain, which lead to peaceful protests involving hundreds of people including students, professors, indigenous leaders and other community members. Trans Mountain discontinued the lawsuit in January 2015 and paid legal costs.
