Arbitration Place is pleased to welcome the Honourable Robert Blair, Q.C., who has joined our roster as a Member Arbitrator.

Mr. Blair retired from the Court of Appeal for Ontario in October, 2017, after fourteen years.

As a lawyer, Mr. Blair was involved on the users’ committee that helped formulate the Commercial List on the Superior Court in Toronto. As a trial judge of that Court, he was a frequent flyer on the Commercial List, presiding over a large number of high profile restructurings, shareholders’ disputes and other complex commercial cases. While a member of the Court of Appeal, he continued to preside over similar matters as well as all types of civil and criminal cases.
