handle is hein.journals/ohlj55 and id is 1 raw text is: Special Issue The CJPTA: A Decade of Progress Judicial Jurisdiction in Canada: The CJPTA-A Decade of Progress JANET WALKER* In 2016, the Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act (CJPTA) marked its tenth year in force. Promulgated by the Uniform Law Conference of Canada, and adopted in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, the CJPTA was developed to clarify and advance the law of judicial jurisdiction. In a symposium hosted by Osgoode Hall Law School, ten leading scholars were invited to present papers on specific questions in order to assess the promise of the CJPTA to meet the needs of Canadians in the years ahead and to provide leadership for the law in other parts of Canada. This article provides an overview of the issues discussed in the symposium; it places the papers that were presented in the larger context of developments in the law of judicial jurisdiction in Canada and internationally; and it summarizes in an appendix the drafting reforms that might be made to the Act. Professor, Osgoode Hall Law School. The author wishes to thank Professor Joost Blom for his astute and helpful comments on the draft of this paper.
