For lawyers practicing in Nova Scotia, whether permanently or under mobility rules, the latest LIANSwers newsletter contains an important article on the still relatively new provisions of the Limitation of Actions Act in that province. Missed limitation periods are a common source of malpractice claims and as such, changes in legislation in this area are particularly critical for all who advise on potential litigation claims. Two recent posts by Jay Reeves on the Byte of Prevention Blog from Lawyers Mutual are also worth a close read. In the post, Risk Management and The Martian, Reeves uses the recent movie, The Martian, as jumping off point for a discussion on basic risk management techniques. Reeves addresses the classic “head in the sand” approach to difficult news in his post, Ignoring a State Bar Letter Will Not Make it Disappear. A simple substitution of “law society” for “State Bar” will make this post completely relevant for Canadian lawyers.
