The Osler Guide to Commercial Arbitration in Canada

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.
