Tomorrow at @schulichlaw.bsky.social -- come for the talk, stay for snacks and beverages!
Intent in Transactions Avoidance – A Need for Greater Certainty Dr. Matthew Chippin will present his paper "Intent in Transactions Avoidance – A Need for Greater Certainty," followed by a brief Q&A session, and an informal social gathering. Using case law and statutory analysis from England, Canada, and the United States, Dr. Chippin's paper highlights how intent-based standards in solvency transactions avoidance provisions have often produced uncertainty, inefficiency, and inconsistent application. By comparison, both the Irish Companies Act 2014, section 608, and the Canadian anti-deprivation rule offer a uniquely broad effects-based model that avoids many of these difficulties while still maintaining sensible limits. Matthew Chippin holds a PhD in Insolvency Law from the University of Leeds. He is currently a visiting scholar with the Marine & Environmental Law Institute and will be a visiting lecturer at the University of New Brunswick's Faculty of Law in January. Dr. Chippin has previously held visiting appointments at Sydney Law School, University of Sydney, and the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Arizona State University. 6 pm, Thursday, Nov 20, 2025 Location Weldon Law Building, Room W207 6061 University Ave. Additional Information RSVP to bizlaw@dal.ca A social mixer will follow the lecture in the 2nd floor Student Lounge.

SMARTER DESIGN AND BETTER ENFORCEMENT Street design has also played a key role. Pedestrian and cycling infrastructure has been significantly upgraded in recent years. In addition, cooperation with traffic police has intensified and more traffic cameras and automated enforcement systems have been introduced. "Public transport in Helsinki is excellent, which reduces car use, and with it, the number of serious accidents," Utriainen noted. Vehicle technology has also improved, making both cars and other personal transport options safer than ever. The positive trend extends beyond fatalities. In the past year, there were 277 injury-causing traffic accidents in Helsinki — a sharp contrast to the nearly 1,000 injurious accidents recorded annually in the late 1980s, when traffic deaths in the city commonly approached 30 per year.
