Ontario Court of Appeal Adopts Neutral Citation

A letter from Professor Daniel Poulin:

"It was my pleasure to discover this morning that the Ontario Court of Appeal has decided to adopt and implement the [1999] neutral citation for the new year starting with its very first decision of 2007. I invite you all to check and to see it by yourself. I don't know the minute details of the very last steps which led to that long waited-for development. However, we can suspect that all the efforts made by those involved had a cumulative effect.

On CanLII : http://www.iijcan.org/on/cas/onca/2007/2007onca1.html

There is just one left. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice remains now the only court in Canada not using the neutral citation.  I'm sure that with the same collaboration we got until now that our neutral citation effort can be concluded this year."

Daniel Poulin is a law professor at the University of Montreal, affiliated with CDRP , whose LexUM team runs CanLII.
