This article was such a joy to write! @HowieKislowicz & I consider how legal principles that have been developed by courts applying the oppression remedy to corporations (1) sometimes still work, & (2) sometimes need to be modified when resolving disputes in religious non-profits

I'm finishing some edits to a paper that will be coming out in the University of Toronto Law Journal w/ my thoughts on the SCC's decision in Redwater/Orphan Well. TL/DR: the SCC has good (doctrinal) reasons to treat environmental liabilities different than other debts.
