Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Summary The flexibility afforded by the new rules in Canada for jurisdiction and judgments creates opportunities for opposing parties to commence parallel proceedings against one another in different jurisdictions. As litigants begin to take advantage of these opportunities, Canadian courts are faced with the special concerns associated with parallel proceedings and the potential for inconsistent results. Various mechanisms have been developed in other legal systems for addressing these concerns but some of these mechanisms do not prevent the “race to judgment” or the “race to file.” A review of the experiences with these mechanisms, and of the Canadian decisions to date, can help in formulating rules that accord with the Canadian appreciation of comity and that seek to prevent abuse without compromising fairness.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
