Can Dive accidentally sank the barge while it was chartered. Fraser River collected on a 1.1 million insurance policy for the barge. The original policy between Fraser River and their insurer contained a subrogation clause which waived the insurer s right of subrogation against any third parties. Fraser River and their insurer entered an agreement which waived the original subrogation waiver, intending to allow the insurance company and Fraser River to sue Can Dive.

The question before the Supreme Court is whether Can Dive could rely on the waiver of subrogation in the original insurance policy.

  1. Fraser Mills

    Fraser Mills is a neighbourhood and formerly separate village municipality in the southwestern part of Coquitlam , British Columbia . Located on the northern shore of the Fraser River , the area was originally the site of a sawmill . The mill was known at first as the Ross McLaren Mill and opened in 1889. However, it closed soon after when co founder James McLaren died. The site remained unused for many years until the mill was reopened as the Fraser River Sawmills. Due to a labour shortage , 400 Francophones were recruited from Quebec . They settled in an area just north of the mill now known as Maillardville . During the Great Depression many workers were laid off. Wage reductions which were imposed on the remaining workforce led to a six week strike. The mill eventually closed in 2001. The current plans by the developer, The Beedie Group, have re zoned the area for commercial and residential use. The new architects for the project are Henriquez Partners led by Gregory Henriquez .
