Canada’s securities regulators are considering several proposals that fundamentally transform dispute resolution for Canadian investors. These include binding authority for the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI), ‘modernizing’ the CIRO arbitration program, and distributing funds ordered disgorged to harmed investors.
The way investor disputes are resolved has real implications for both wealth business models and investors. This panel will explore real world impacts for wealth business and investors, Canada’s approach relative to other countries, fairness principles, the role of regulators … and lawyers.
This session is valuable for those who service investors in Canada and for those who work to resolve their disputes.
