Bill n°28: An Act to establish the new Code of Civil Procedure: http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/dynamicSearch/telecharge.php?type=5&file=2014C1A.PDF

  • Introduced on April 30, 2013

  • Passage on February 20, 2014
  • Assent on February 21, 2014

The Code of Civil Procedure, as it then was, had been adopted in 1965 and had been partially modified over time. During the last few years, a large number of collaborators and specialists have been consulted in order to conduct an in-depth review of the Code and to facilitate access to justice.

In September 2011, a draft version was filed with the National Assembly by the then Minister of Justice, Jean-Marc Fournier: 49 reports were submitted during public hearings held in January 2012.

On April 30, 2013, the Minister of Justice, Bertrand St-Arnaud, filed Bill 28. It has also been subject to public hearings: 14 groups were heard and 21 reports were submitted.

Clause-by-clause consideration of Bill 28 by the Committee on Institutions began on October 8, 2013. This Committee sat for 30 sittings, totalling more than 106 hours. Some 30 amendments and 5 under-amendments were adopted. On February 20, 2014, Bill 28, including the amendments, was passed. The official version of the CCP was received by APSOQ on March 14, 2014.
