Practice Guideline on the use of the Commission’s Book of Authorities
in proceedings before the Commission

TORONTO – A Book of Authorities containing cases frequently relied on by parties appearing before the Commission (the “Book of Authorities”), has been developed by the Office of the Secretary to the Commission and approved for use in proceedings before the Commission effective January 1, 2013.
