Ontario’s Commercial Mediation Act, 2010: Too important to ignore, too ineffective to keep
Six years ago, I enthusiastically blogged about the first anniversary of Ontario’s Commercial Mediation Act, 2010 (CMA), which I called “The Most Important Legislation You’ve Never Heard About.” I naively hoped the situation would soon change. Sadly, I am willing to bet that many readers of this article have still never heard of the CMA. Yet it is vital and powerful legislation. However, ignorance of the CMA may be due, in part, to its limited scope — and even its name. That’s a shame, as it represents a lost opportunity and it may, therefore, be time to reform, or replace, the CMA.

Why do family law cases settle when they do?
More than 99 per cent of family law cases settle without a trial. The majority settle prior to the commencement of any litigation. Since most family law clients enter the process seeking an early settlement of the case, it is worth considering why more cases do not settle without the need for intervention of a third party in the form of a mediator or a court.
