Description:

Robert Martz and Paul Chiswell of Burnet Duckworth & Palmer LLP will give a legal overview of Alberta's Limitations Act as it applies in the oil and gas industry and address questions. What is the time limit to bring a claim? The Limitations Act sets the time limit when the "books are closed", although many JV agreements extend the time limit. How is the industry handling "leftover" items, including forgotten invoices, stale invoices, discovery of a systemic error, uncompleted 13th month adjustments, and unresolved audit queries?
