About
This on-demand program provides an in-depth review of civil litigation developments in Alberta over the past year. The most significant update was the introduction of NPP2025-02: Mandatory Litigation Plans in Civil (Non-Family) Cases.
Beyond this change, 2025 brought important shifts in several key areas, including:
- The elimination of the “inextricably linked” test and evolving interpretations of what constitutes a “significant advance” under Rule 4.33
- Judicial guidance on whether actions such as serving supplemental or “Nil” affidavits of records, and ambiguous undertaking responses meet the threshold for advancement
- Clarifications on the scope and limits of discovery and the proper assessment of costs
- The evolving treatment of self-represented litigants under the Alberta Rules of Court
- Practical lessons and cautionary tales regarding the use of large language models and AI in litigation
This session provides insights to help you navigate these changes effectively.
This on-demand program was originally broadcasted as a live webinar on December 2, 2025. Total running time is 1 hour, 30 minutes.
