Good afternoon.
Please find below our summaries of the civil decisions of the Ontario Court of Appeal for the week of August 23, 2021.
There were three substantive civil decisions this week. Vu v. Canada (Attorney General) deals with discoverability and limitation periods related to the torts of false arrest and imprisonment. In dismissing the appeal, the Court confirmed the date of an arrest is merely a presumptive date for the commencement of the limitation period – a date that can be rebutted.

The value of a business’ intangible assets and intellectual property (IP) is key to its ability to support revenues through sales of products/services, franchising, licensing, or through attracting investment and fundraising activities.
Intellectual property (IP) is a valuable asset in any liquidation or bankruptcy. However, it presents unique legal and practical challenges for insolvency practitioners.
These challenges include:
MOJAVE DESERT HOLDINGS, LLC v. CROCS, INC.
Before Newman, Dyk, and O’Malley. Appeal from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
Summary: Parties challenging patents in inter partes reexamination can assign their rights to others.
As of Q1 2021, vaccines have started to reduce hospitalisations in numerous countries, but global variations in vaccine manufacturing, distribution, procurement and adoption ensure that 2021 will be a year of patchwork ‘new normals’ worldwide. New, more infectious and potentially more robust variants may render COVID-19 endemic, further fragmenting governments’ response. Despite the prominence of the pandemic, other issues (such as Brexit and data protection) have also been notable within searches.

The recent outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has had grave effects on people’s life as well as the economy in almost every country in the world, including Vietnam.
Recognizing the negative impacts of the pandemic on the economy, as well as the considerable difficulty of businesses in solving crises arising during this period of time, Apolat Legal publishes the “A legal handbook for businesses the COVID-19 pandemic” to provide a useful legal reference that businesses can apply to solve difficulties during this period.
In brief
The North America Tax Practice Group presented The Future of IP Planning, the fourth webinar in the series The Importance of Tax in the Response to COVID-19 on 1 May 2020.
The global economy has suffered a massive hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. The collective impact of disruptions to supply chains and falling consumer demand have caused many businesses to suffer varying degrees of financial stress with some having to recapitalise or refinance. While some M&A transactions on foot prior to the onset of the pandemic have been disrupted or delayed, the impact of the pandemic will open up opportunities for cashed-up funds and other buyers to, in time, take advantage of strategic and investment opportunities presented by the pandemic.
