A recent British Columbia Court of Appeal decision, Cressey Construction Corporation v. Parolin, 2026 BCCA 199, highlights the legal risks employers may face when changing long-standing workplace arrangements.

The Court found that where an employee has been permitted to work remotely for an extended period, that arrangement may become a fundamental part of the employment relationship. Significant changes to those terms, particularly without adequate notice, can expose employers to constructive dismissal claims.

Whether you're an employer considering policy changes or an employee concerned about your workplace rights, understanding the legal implications is essential.

📞 Contact our Port Coquitlam office for advice on employment contracts, workplace changes, constructive dismissal, and other employment law matters.

In Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized a new tort of intimate partner violence.

The Court acknowledged that abuse is not always physical or isolated. Coercive control, psychological abuse, financial control, intimidation, and patterns of harmful behaviour can now form the basis of a legal claim for damages.

This important decision strengthens legal protections for survivors and recognizes the serious harm caused by coercive and controlling conduct in intimate relationships.

Separation can feel overwhelming, and one of the most common questions we hear is: “Where do we even start?”

A separation agreement is often one of the most helpful first steps. It gives both parties clarity and helps avoid misunderstandings down the road.

In BC, a separation agreement can address things like:

• Parenting time and decision-making
• Child and spousal support
• Division of property and debt

While you don’t always have to have one, having a clear, written agreement can make a difficult time a little more manageable, for everyone involved.

Most importantly, it helps create structure, reduce conflict, and move things forward with certainty.

If you’re unsure where to begin, speaking with a lawyer early can make the process smoother and protect your interests.

📩 We’re here to help guide you through each step.

☀️ Long Weekend Mode: ON ☀️

Out of office. Snacks packed. Road trip playlist ready. 🚗🎶
However you’re spending the BC long weekend, camping, road-tripping, patio hopping, or just enjoying some downtime, we hope it’s a great one.

Just a friendly reminder to:

🚗 Take it easy on the roads (no rush, the weekend will still be there)

👀 Stay aware of your surroundings wherever you go

🤝 Look out for each other

A little extra caution = a lot more long weekends to enjoy.
Stay safe, have fun, and we’ll see you back after the long weekend 👋

We hit pause on the office yesterday for a well-deserved staff appreciation day 🌟

The team headed to Vancouver for a day of great food, fresh air, and even better company.

We kicked things off with lunch at CRAFT, then set sail on a Tiki Boat Tour to soak in the city from the water 🌊

It was the perfect reminder that some of the best moments happen outside the office—laughing, connecting, and enjoying time together as a team.

Grateful for this incredible group and the chance to celebrate all the hard work they do every day 🙌
