Subject: Civil Rules of Practice in Singapore, UK NZ and NSW

 

Colleagues

The province of Ontario is undergoing major changes to its Rules of Practice. They will impact all areas but in particular jury, personal injury and medical negligence.

Singapore, the UK, NZ and NSW have been touted as having solved the backlog problem with a paper-heavy model.

If there is anyone who could advise me on how their rules are working in practice I would be most grateful. I am a member of our Civil Rules Committee and would like to know if the rules in these jurisdictions are transportable to Ontario and if they are indeed working as expected.

 

Many thanks.
