In this episode of Civil Banter, Hamish and Stan break down what waivers are and when they can prevent someone from suing after an injury. Using a 2024 Ottawa case (Bernier v. City of Ottawa), they explain how courts assess waivers and why wording, timing, and context matter. As always, the takeaway is simple: when it comes to waivers, it depends.
