Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Precision Drilling Canada Limited Partnership v Yangarra Resources Ltd, 2015 ABQB 433 (CanLII):
The situation here is quite different from the case of Niedermeyer v. Charlton, 2014 BCCA 165, 2014 CarswellBC 1136, where the court did hold that it was contrary to public policy to hold a customer using the services of a zip-line company to an exclusionary clause.
