Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan Consultation Report on Occupiers’ Liability
April 12, 2023The Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan has published a consultation report on potential reform of the law of occupiers’ liability in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is the only common law province in Canada that still applies the common law of occupiers’ liability, and this area of law in Saskatchewan has been described by scholars and the courts as being in a state of disarray and requiring a complete legislative overhaul. The Commission’s consultation report outlines the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan’s previous report recommending reform of this area of law, discusses occupiers’ liability legislation and other changes to the law of occupiers’ liability in Canada, and poses consultation questions pertaining to this area of law for which feedback is sought. Feedback can be provided via the survey posted on the Commission’s website, or via email to Leah Howie, Director of the Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan ([email protected]). Consultation on this project is open until June 30.
