Partner Benjamin Bathgate will participate in De-Mystifying Digital Assets and Recognizing When Digital Asset Issues Arise, a webinar that will be hosted by the Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice (CIAJ), on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
With the growth of digital assets as a form of investment and an everyday asset class, there is an increasing need for our judges and lawyers to have a greater awareness of what they are and how their unique character can impact court processes and dispositions.
It is not only a matter of digital asset fraud cases and injunctions (Marevas, Anton Pillers, Norwichs, Interim Possession/Custody orders, etc.), but also court cases where digital assets are simply an asset class that must be dealt with in every day court dispositions (tracing or accounting for them; specific performance on their disposition; interim custody and preservation; valuation and damages calculations on highly volatile assets, etc.).
It is increasingly important to de-mystify this asset class for our judiciary and bar and provide a practical ‘how to kit’ on approaching these cases. This series and its experts will help you recognize in what respects digital assets are meaningfully different from conventional assets/loss categories (and how/when they are not), and help you build a framework on how to identify the unique issues and questions that may arise from their involvement and disposition.
