BAIL THE BOAT: ADDRESSING ONTARIO’S OVERFLOWING CIVIL COURT SYSTEM
If you can’t attend one of the live sessions, you can still participate.
All members are invited to share ideas for immediate ways* the civil backlog could be reduced. All ideas will be reviewed by a ‘jury’ of senior members of the bar and policy experts against the following four criteria:
- Built and taken down quickly
- Accomplished without major systems, technology or other structural changes
- Done with existing resources or small investment
- Targeted at the most significant delays (whether that be in practice area, appearance type of region)
* Note that the OBA is also striking a taskforce to work on meaningful long-term civil justice reform. Bail the Boat is intended to focus on ideas to get some short term immediate relief.
