Arbitration Law Of Canada

Arbitration Law of Canada provides the busy lawyer and arbitrator with a handy day to day reference work. This is a comprehensive treatise on the law and practice of arbitration in Canada. The text covers all aspects of commercial arbitration: when to choose arbitration; how to draft an effective arbitration clause; how to choose an arbitrator; the legal and practical aspects of arbitrating in Canada under both the UNCITRAL Model Law as well as domestic legislation, and enforcing awards in Canada, regardless of the jurisdiction in which they were made. The book covers arbitration law in all the Canadian Provinces. It is not only a definitive legal text, but has been designed and organized to be a handy reference text for arbitration practitioners. The second edition includes a revised and expanded index, a complete index of cases, and a number of additional "practice notes". The chapters dealing with court involvement in arbitration, challenges and recognition of awards, have been extensively revised to take into account the numerous court decisions released since the last edition.

"In this Guide for practitioners, three experienced arbitration lawyers - one each in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta - provide an easy-to-use practical overview of the law of domestic and international arbitration in Canada. With lucid clarification of applicable legislation, both federal and provincial, and analysis of relevant case law, this Guide offers great assistance in the preparation and negotiation of arbitration agreements, as well as the conduct of commercial arbitrations in Canada. Among the topics covered are the following: important issues and key cases in all Canadian provinces and under federal legislation; practical reasons to use arbitration; what to consider in preparing arbitration agreements; protection of confidential information in Canadian arbitrations; interim remedies, including staying court proceedings in favour of arbitration; and appealing and enforcing awards. Emphasizing the major jurisdictions of Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia, this Guide will be of immeasurable value to in-house and external corporate counsel, litigation lawyers, international lawyers and business people, as well as to students of dispute resolution."--Publisher's website.
