Law360 recently covered the joint WeirFoulds/Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice (CIAJ) event “Combating Cybercrime and Crypto Fraud in Canada: What the Courts, Law Enforcement, Regulators and Industry Can Do to Turn the Tide” which was held on October 13, 2026.
The article discusses examines some of the major issues talked about during the event including the growing challenges of combating cybercrime and cryptocurrency fraud in Canada, focusing on judicial education, limited enforcement resources, and the speed at which digital assets can be moved and concealed.
Speakers, including Ontario Chief Justice Michael Tulloch and Justice Clayton Conlan, were also highlighted re-emphasizing the need for evidence and expert testimony to be presented with appropriate context so that judges who are unfamiliar with areas like blockchain and cryptocurrency, can accurately assess their merits and limits.
WeirFoulds partners Benjamin Bathgate and Maureen Ward also moderated panels as part of the forum.
