Canadian Judicial Council approves Model National Practice Direction
Ottawa - September 11, 2007 - At a meeting of the Council, the National Model Practice Direction drafted by the Judges Technology Advisory Committee ("JTAC") after extensive consultation, was unanimously approved.
The Practice Direction will be translated into French and is expected to be posted on the LexUM Electronic Discovery Portal - http://www.lexum.umontreal.ca/e-discovery/ in October .
British Columbia and Alberta have already passed Practice Directions or Notes consistent with the JTAC standard. The Council has formally requested Chief Justices of other jurisdictions to consider implementing a Practice Direction for their own jurisdiction.
For more information please contact Martin Felsky, who is working with JTAC to help refine and implement the Practice Direction.
