British Columbia’s New Supreme Court Civil Rules
On July 1, 2010, British Columbia’s new Supreme Court Civil Rules came into effect, bringing with them significant changes of relevance to litigants, lawyers and insurers. Some of the major revisions relate to the commencement of proceedings, the scope of and time for discovery, delivery of documents, expert evidence, and fast-track proceedings. There is, as well, a new case planning regime. We have prepared a paper on the subject.
