As mentioned last week, amendments to the Federal Courts Rules are being made, and were published in the Canada Gazette today for:

• miscellaneous changes including expansion to Rule 3 to focus on ‘outcome’ and proportionality rather than ‘determination’, explicit powers to limit examinations (rule 87.1) and a rule specifically for motions in writing at the Federal Court of Appeal (rule 369.2), among other things.
• enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.
• limited-scope representation.
