OBA PROGRAM | 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM (ET)
On April 1, 2025, the Civil Rules Review* Working Group released their Phase 2 Consultation Paper outlining proposed changes to the Rules of Civil Procedure that would fundamentally alter the civil litigation process in Ontario. Some of the key aspects of the new proposed regime reflect elements of UK and Australian civil procedure.
Join us for this valuable program to:
- Get up to speed on the proposed changes with Working Group Co-Chair Justice Cary Boswell; and
- Gather helpful insights on the benefits, challenges and nuances of these changes from counsel practicing in the jurisdictions with similar procedures to those proposed, including:
- Paul Devlin - Australian counsel with New York practice experience; and
- James Tumbridge - UK counsel with Canadian and US practice experience.
Don’t miss this important session to hear what effective advocacy looks like under this type of regime and the essential skills you will need to continue to excel.
