Canada - New Law Passed Bans Faith-Based Arbitration

Canada - A new provincial law, Bill 27, will ban religious family arbitration. The bill prohibits all forms of binding arbitration like Rabbinical Courts, or Beit Dins acting on family matters not conducted according to Canadian law.
Representatives of the Va’ad Harabonim of Toronto and several other Orthodox groups, say that they will take steps to challenge the measure under the religious freedom provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
