BC Courts Coat of ArmsThe case of Billabong Road & Bridge Maintenance v Brook is a B.C. Supreme Court appeal of a conviction that saw both parties found 50% at fault after a single vehicle collision.

The case contains an analysis of the contract between the road maintenance company and the Provincial Government and whether that standard had been met or not.
