| The program will begin with opening remarks framing the significance of the Lundindecision and its broader relevance for market integrity and accountability. An academic keynote by Alexander Dyck will explore new research on whether litigation risk improves the quality of corporate disclosure, drawing connections between theory, empirical evidence, and real-world enforcement outcomes.
The centrepiece of the event is a moderated panel discussion featuring perspectives from securities regulation, litigation, governance advocacy, and academia. Panelists will consider how the Lundin decision reshapes disclosure expectations for public companies, its implications for deterrence and board oversight, and the interaction between litigation risk and governance practices. The discussion will also address sector-specific impacts—particularly for resource and other high-risk industries—and debate whether Canada’s enforcement toolkit should be strengthened. The session will conclude with an audience Q&A, followed by closing remarks and a preview of forthcoming Johnston Centre initiatives, including the launch of the Class Actions Database. |
