In Failure to Learn: The BP Texas City Refinery Disaster, respected OHS expert Professor Andrew Hopkins discusses the causes of a major explosion at the Texas City Oil Refinery on March 23, 2005, that killed 15 workers and injured more than 170 others. Failure to Learn also analyses the similarities between this event and the Longford Gas Plant explosion in Victoria in 1998, featured in his earlier book Lessons from Longford.

Professor Andrew Hopkins is being recognized by the European Process Safety Centre in October 2008, in recognition of his contribution to safety. Professor Hopkins is the first winner to receive the award, outside of Europe, which is a demonstration of the impact of his valuable work worldwide.

Andrew has been awarded a prize by the European Process Safety Centre for “extraordinary contribution to process safety”, the first time this has been awarded outside of Europe. He also appears in the US Chemical Safety Board film on Texas City and has been invited to appear in a subsequent film.

Professor Hopkins poses questions such as:

• Why was the number of victims so large?
• Who was blamed for the explosion?
• What were the real causes?
• Had lessons been learnt from the earlier incident at Longford?
• Has anything changed as a result of the Texas City accident?

The foreword for the book was written by Carolyn Merritt, chair of the CSB at the time of the accident and subsequent inquiry.

Provides a detailed explanation of the tax-related provisions contained in over 40 pieces of legislation enacted in the 112th Congress during 2011 and 2012.

The Blue Book provides the legislative history for each Act, a provision-by-provision description of the prior law and new law, the reasons for the law change if the provision was reported out of committee before enactment, and the effective date of each law change. Descriptions prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation were included in the absence of other committee reports or when the Joint Committee issued a contemporaneous technical explanation of the bill. An Appendix shows the estimated budget effects of the tax legislation enacted in the 112th Congress for fiscal years 2010 – 2012.

The Blue Book's explanations serve as a useful guide in understanding the intent and meaning of the new tax laws and, along with committee and conference reports, is considered substantial authority for the tax treatment of an item for purposes of avoiding the Code Sec. 6662 accuracy-related penalty on substantial understatements of income tax (Reg. §1.6662-4(d)(3)(iii)).

A lawyer’s duty to avoid conflicts of interest is an important aspect of the duty of loyalty that lawyers owe to their clients. For Canadian in-house counsel, the duty to avoid conflicts of interest presents special challenges due to the nature of the relationship of in-house counsel to their employer. This webinar will enable in-house counsel to effectively navigate the conflict rules in the Canadian legal system, and provide participants with the knowledge to successfully implement best practices to avoid conflicts of interest.

This webinar will provide participants with an introduction to key cases including the recent Supreme Court of Canada case of Canadian Railway Co. v McKercher LLP, 2013 SCC 39, and provincial law society rules on conflicts of interest. It will also address when representation might attract a bright line rule, and when a contextual test will be applied; the circumstances in which a lawyer might be disqualified from representation of a client; and why a waiver might be insufficient. It will provide an opportunity to learn about the unique duties of in-house counsel in relation to conflicts of interest. Finally, it will provide discussion on some best practices for creating effective policies and procedures to avoid the creation of circumstances in which a conflict of interest would arise.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn about the provincial Law Society rules on conflicts of interest in Canada;
• Learn the key Canadian cases on conflict of interests, the rules that have emerged from the jurisprudence, and the policy concerns of the Canadian courts in relation to a lawyer’s duty to avoid conflicts;
• Understand and reflect on your professional duties to your employer, and to your professional regulator, in circumstances in which a conflict of interest may arise; and
• Learn about best practices and policies to avoid conflicts of interest.
