This year marked success in a long‐running initiative of the Section and MBA Council: passage of legislation to bring the Cape Town Convention into force in Manitoba.    Cape Town provides an International Registry to record leases and security interests in certain aircraft and aircraft engines.  This is important legislation for the aviation and aerospace industries

On June 25, 2013, the Section hosted a presentation for its members and the Business Law Section to explain the impact of the Cape Town Convention and demonstrate the International Registry procedures.

Because the practice of air and transportation law in Manitoba has diminished significantly since the economic de‐regulation of most modes of transport, the Transportation Law Section of the Manitoba Bar Association has been largely dormant.  However, the Chair remains available as a resource in the event that issues or opportunities arise that the MBA wants to consider becoming involved in.
