On October 22, 2020, the Federal Court (FC) issued new  Case and Trial Management Guidelines for Complex Proceedings (the FC Guidelines). These new consolidated FC Guidelines address many of the topics raised in the following earlier FC Notices to the Profession:

  1. Case management: Increased Proportionality in Complex Litigation before the Federal Court (June 24, 2015);
  2. Trial Management Guidelines (April 2017);
  3. Intellectual Property (experimental testing) (May 12, 2016); and
  4. Guidelines for Actions under the Amended PMNOC Regulations (September 21, 2017).

The FC Guidelines are divided in two sections: the first is a general section addressing complex proceedings, or proceedings which are expected to require at least five trial days, while the second is specific to actions proceeding under the  PM(NOC) Regulations.
