It is with great pride and excitement that Scott Hall LLP announces Mr. Justice Robert J. Hall, Q.C., is the newest judicial appointment to the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench.

Mr. Justice Hall joined Singleton Urquhart Scott in 1995, became Managing Partner in 1998 and became a named partner in Scott Hall LLP in 2000. His main practice area was civil litigation with a focus on insurance defence work. Not only has he left an indelible footprint on our firm but also on his students as a sessional instructor at the University of Calgary in insurance law. Mr. Justice Hall’s remarkable trial skills will stand him in good stead in his new appointment as he continues to make his mark in the legal community. The Scott Hall LLP family wishes Mr. Justice Hall the very best. We will miss him.

David M. Pick was successful in defeating a personal injury claim that went to trial last February. The Plaintiff claimed chronic pain as a result of a moderate rear end accident and had sought damages in excess of $700,000. The defence put forward by Mr. Pick was that the Plaintiff was fabricating his injuries and was malingering. After a three week trial, Justice Clark, in his December 21, 2009, Reasons for Judgment found that the Plaintiff was not credible, that he was manufacturing his symptoms and was a complete malingerer. Due to these findings, Justice Clark dismissed the claim and awarded the Plaintiff $0. [Tavakoli v. Junghans, 2009 ABQB 756]
