Alumni Career Events Conferences and Workshops General Guest Speakers
Anna Lund is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta and current Estey Chair in Business Law at the University of Saskatchewan. She researches and teaches in the areas of bankruptcy and insolvency, debtor creditor law, civil procedure, access to justice, and housing.
In mortgage enforcement proceedings, borrowers risk losing their homes. The law provides limited protections to them, which in some Canadian provinces includes mandatory court oversight of the foreclosure proceedings. Yet, many borrowers do not take part in the court process. Building on American scholarship that examines how judges manage proceedings in lawyerless courts, where both litigants are unrepresented, this talk will consider the question of how judges ensure fairness in proceedings where one party, the borrower, is commonly absent.
