OBA Civil Litigation PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM

As of February 1, 2019, the one-judge civil case management pilot will be effective in Ontario. Under this pilot, the judge that has been assigned to case-manage an action will preside over all pre-trial hearings, case management conferences and the trial itself. This will allow the judge to become entirely familiar with the issues in the dispute. The only exception to this will be the case conferences that are dedicated solely to settlement discussions. This pilot will run for two years at which time it will be evaluated.

Join Associate Chief Justice Marrocco and two experienced counsel for an informative primer on how this new pilot will function, including how to get your case included in it, ideal cases for inclusion, and the availability of fixed trial dates. Learn the experiences of the Bench and Bar with one-judge case management. There will be opportunities during this webinar to pose questions directly to the speakers.

Register now for this important webinar to gain an understanding about the new pilot that will affect your practice.
