Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Law Society of Upper Canada v. Kivisto, 2017 ONLSTH 157 (CanLII):
The Law Society Tribunal’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (“the Rules”) do not provide a definition of proceeding. Black’s Law Dictionary defines proceeding as: “The steps or measures taken in the course of an action, including all that are taken. The proceedings of a suit embrace all matters that occur in its progress judicially. Morewood v. Hollister, 6 N.Y. 320.”
