@CraigCustance I bought copies of “Behind the Bench” for my son’s coaches a few years ago and everyone raved. When I saw your new book, “The Franchise” was available for pre-order it was a no brainer. Couldn’t make the purchase @chaptersindigo fast enough. Can’t wait to read it!

Waiting for a Summary Judgment Motion date for your wrongful dismissal matter?

Why not retain me to arbitrate it instead? $2,500+HST fixed fee, provided only matters in dispute are: whether employment contract is dispositive, quantum of reasonable notice, and mitigation.
