The Competence-Competence Principle for Litigators 

Presented by the CBA Alberta Civil Litigation South Section

On Demand. Originally presented on January 28, 2025.

Following the SCC’s decision in Peace River and Uber, there is a growing amount of caselaw on the competence-competence principle. While an arbitrator can decide his/her own jurisdiction, in practice this issue often comes before a Court at first instance and the parties and the Court must grapple with the exceptions.
