Following the revelations of the Commission Charbonneau, IMK represents the City of Montreal in multiple complex cases seeking the recovery public funds unjustly paid in the context of collusion schemes. These cases raise complex legal issues involving liability in public contracting, joint and several liability, immunity, and statutory presumptions under Bill 26. The proceedings have involved numerous interlocutory applications, including motions to access evidence from related criminal files. Issues of bankruptcy and insolvency have also arisen in the context of these matters.
