The Alberta Law Reform Institute has published its final recommendations regarding Stay and Appeal Issues in the Arbitration Act based on the consultation following our Report for Discussion on the topic published in 2012.
The Report (Final Report 103- Arbitration Act: Stay and Appeal Issues) explains the reasoning behind the recommendations to repeal specific sections to maintain conceptual consistency within the Arbitration Act. These recommendations reaffirm the two fundamental principles underlying the Act: the principle of party control and the principle of restricted court intervention. The Report also makes recommendations for dealing with the transitional period for existing arbitration agreements and how the amended Act should be applied.
