Arbitration Advocacy Presentation

I attended the Arbitration Advocacy presentation by the Advocates Society on March 27th.

This was the first such session presented by the Advocates Society and included a review of the myriad legislation existing both in Canada and Internationally on Commercial Arbitrations. Experienced practitioners discussed cultural and legal system differences that were highlighted by some fascinating tales of intrigue and hijackings of witnesses. It did, as a questioner pointed out, reinforce the value of arbitration in international off shore contractual disputes instead of having to resort to the local courts.

Great session.  I recommend you keep an eye out for more like this.  If you have any questions, please call or email me directly: or 416-350-5823

Thanks for reading,

Jim Cameron

Mediation Assistance Program for Insurers

At Cameron & Associates, we are pleased to announce our new Mediation Assistance Program (M.A.P.) for Insurers.

Are you ready?

FSCO has recently initiated a project to clear the backlog of over 30,000 mediation requests.

Implications for insurers:

  • Your AB team will receive an influx of mediation scheduling requests
  • Your ADR team and claims handlers will experience a dramatic workload increase to prepare for mediations
  • Your senior claims handlers will be preparing for mediations, spending less time on active files

At Cameron & Associates, our M.A.P. team is ready and available now for claims handling while your team readies for mediations.  Our highly skilled Accident Benefits team provides on-site assistance to insurers on long and short-term contracts.

What our M.A.P. Team can do:

  • Full AB file handling from Med./Rehab. to Catastrophic Claims
  • Mediation brief preparation

Help with individual tasks within the AB department:

  • Respond to incoming forms & mail
  • Make initial calls & return calls on AB claims
  • Identify red flags indicating possible fraud
  • Reserve worksheets
  • Processing & requesting payments
  • Correspondence to claimants
