Kelsey Meyer is featured in Canadian Lawyer after her successful representation of Petrowest in Peace River Hydro Partners v. Petrowest Corp., 2022 SCC 41.
Kelsey comments on the Supreme Court of Canada's finding that the doctrine of separability had no application to the case, despite the previous ruling by the British Columbia Court of Appeal: "The majority held that separability is intended to safeguard arbitration agreements, not imperil them."
