Gustavo, you may or may not be overreading the Court&#039;s attitude toward Chevron. My feeling is it&#039;s probably a mistake to draw any conclusions from the opinion&#039;s amusing &quot;your wish is granted&quot; language. I think the jurisdictional point is significant, but I am not sure it is particularly aimed at Chevron or at multinational companies. I think it would be a good thing if courts agreed that once a judgment exists, defenses such as forum non conveniens, want of personal jurisdiction, etc., generally will fall by the wayside. Of course, now the LAPs, having won the right to have the court decide, need to persuade the court that their judgment is entitled to recognition and enforcement in Ontario!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ted,
I am glad that you also understood how the judges dislike Chevron&#039;s arrogant commentary, and used it to give Chevron a lesson. However, I agree with The Trial Warrior Blog which concludes saying that the Yaiguaje decision will have a significant impact beyond the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. The Court of Appeal has sent a strong signal to multinational corporations that it may assert jurisdiction over foreign parent companies and their Canadian subsidiaries, which arrange their corporate affairs in a manner to avoid judgment creditors and will not hesitate to pierce the corporate veil, if and when necessary.]]></description>
