Some of his most notable and precedent setting cases include: Opuku v Pal (ONCA) (opened the door to rescind the first 10 years of AB settlements at FSCO); Igbokwe v HB Group (ONCA) (applying the AB settlement regulation to AB Claims advanced in Court); Thornhill v Shadid (OSCJ) (the first decision dealing with Minimum Maintenance Standards under the Municipal Act for snow removal); Leone and State Farm (FSCO Appeal) (requiring FSCO Mediations to occur within 60 days of the Application for Mediation); Parveen and Aviva (FSCO Appeal) (allowing for the rescinding of all FSCO settlements from 2002 – 2012); and for example, Scarlett v Belair (Divisional Court) (the first decision dealing with the MIG). Alex intervened on behalf of OTLA in the Sovereign General and Abyan case involving the constitutional validity of chronic pain being subject to the MIG, and Tomec v Economical before the Court of Appeal for Ontario that established SABS limitation periods were in fact based on discoverability of a cause of action.
