Canadian National Railway Co. v. CanadaCourt Case • June 16th, 2023
Action by Canadian National Railway against the Province of British Columbia for damages arising from a landslide. The landslide swept away a portion of an embankment supporting railway track owned by the Railway. Shortly afterward, a Railway freight train plunged into a canyon, resulting in two deaths and extensive damage. The Railway was unaware of the landslide until after the derail- ment occurred. It claimed that the Province was negligent in abutting its highway fill against the railway fill when it realigned the highway, and failed to control surface water above the highway.
