What is the test for conciliation in a civil matter?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gordon v. Mevold, 2012 NSSC 17 (CanLII):
The parties participated in conciliation in 2008 and 2010. Conciliation is described in Civil Procedure Rules 59.29 to 59.32. As I’ve said elsewhere (MacDonald v. Seguin, 2011 NSSC 337 at paragraph 5), the conciliation process can be beneficial because it identifies the issues in their dispute and the documents and the information needed to address those issues. Conciliation can also identify areas of agreement and ensure the parties are ready for trial.
