This annual report of the Law Reform Commission of British Columbia outlines the progress made by the commission during the period from April 1, 1992, to March 31, 1993.
Abstract
The commission was created in 1969 by the Law Reform Commission Act. The commission's mandate is "to take and keep under review all the law of the Province, including statute law, common law and judicial decisions, with a view to its systematic development and reform, including the codification, elimination of anomalies, repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, reduction in the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernization of the law ..." During the period under review, the commission submitted reports on the Insurance Act, Supreme Court Rule 54 (reciprocally enforceable judgments), wrongful interference with goods, noncharitable purpose trusts, informal public appeal funds, fixtures and the Personal Property Security Act, and apportionment of costs and contributory negligence (Section 3 of the Negligence Act). A significant development during the closing months of the past year has been planning for the relocation of the commission's premises.
