Abstract

From 2010 to 2013, the "Drop Dead Rule" in the Alberta Rules of Court underwent major amendments that resulted in new jurisprudence for resolution of all such applications. In this article, we conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses of the consequences of these amendments and the causes of these consequences. We find that the increase in applications, the longer time to resolution, and the inequitable impact on impecunious plaintiffs result in outcomes contrary to the objectives stated in the Foundational Rules. We provide evidence of the extent of these failures and recommendations on how to amend the Drop Dead Rule to result in fairer, more just, timelier, and more cost-effective resolutions.

死还是慢死?《艾伯塔省法院规则》第4.33条分析
从2010年到2013年,艾伯塔省法院规则中的“死亡规则”经历了重大修订,导致解决所有此类申请的新法理学。在本文中,我们对这些修订的后果以及这些后果的原因进行了定量和定性分析。我们发现,申请量的增加、解决时间的延长以及对无钱原告的不公平影响,导致了与《基本规则》所述目标相反的结果。我们提供了这些失败的程度的证据,并就如何修改Drop Dead规则提出了建议,以实现更公平、更公正、更及时和更具成本效益的解决方案。
