Justice Reform Initiatives ~ Early Solutions, Faster Justice


Family Justice Reform Projects

Notice to Mediate (Family) Pilot Project

The Ministry of Attorney General introduced a family mediation pilot project in Nanaimo in late 2007 to help people find early solutions to their family law disputes. The Notice to Mediate (Family) Regulation enables any party to a family proceeding in the Nanaimo registry of the B.C. Supreme Court to require the other parties to attend a single mediation session. The pilot project was expanded in early 2008 to include the Victoria and Duncan registries of the B.C. Supreme Court.

The following documents provide information about the pilot projects in each location:
