Osborne releases Summary of Findings and Recommendations
Coulter Osborne has submitted a Summary of Findings and Recommendations arising from his review of the civil justice system, which he was asked to undertake in June of 2006. The Final Report of the Review is expected to be delivered shortly.
From the transmittal letter: "As set out in the Terms of Reference, I have reviewed potential areas of reform and made recommendations to make the civil justice system more accessible and affordable. I believe the bulk of the recommendations are suitable for implementation within a reasonable time and, if implemented, will enhance access to justice for Ontarians."
The Report strongly supports technology initiatives as between counsel, by judges, and in court administration (section 16).
