According to the AB Government news release detailing bills that will be introduced in the nest session:

Rules of Court Statutes Amendment Act, 2009 (Justice and Attorney General) The proposed amendments will consolidate the authority for the Rules of Court in one statute, the Judicature Act, will relocate provisions relating to the enforcement of money judgments from the Rules of Court to the Civil Enforcement Act, and will make consequential and other amendments to various statues related to the new rules.

Cheers, Shaunna

Hat tip to Simon F at Slaw.ca for letting us know that:

 Irwin Law has announced the development of its own online e-books platform. As of July 31, 2009, their current licensing agreement with LexisNexis Quicklaw will come to an end, and digital versions of all Irwin Law texts will be exclusively available on their proprietary platform as of the next day. Jeffrey Miller, Irwin publisher, makes it clear in his announcement to current authors that:

We respect the work of our authors and recognize our responsibility to publish in a manner that enhances their return and their reputation, while at the same time protecting their intellectual property rights. Finally, our view is that electronic publishing should support our print program, but that e-books cannot replace the utility or the experience of the printed page. We believe that all these goals can best be accomplished within the framework of our own Irwin Law e-book platform.
