Return to Written Question 19-13(4) asked by Mr. Picco to the Minister of Justice concerning updating the Arbitration Act.
Updating the Arbitration Act
On February 20, 1997 Mr. Picco asked what efforts have been made by the Department of Justice to identify the necessary revisions to the Arbitration Act and when those revisions would be brought before the Legislative Assembly. Revisions to the Arbitration Act are on the list of legislative projects within the Department of Justice. The department intends to review the Uniform Arbitration Act developed by the Uniform Law Conference, and the recent legislation which has been passed in other jurisdictions. The review will begin in the summer of 1997, with the expectation that legislation will be introduced within a year.
