      History

      The Legal Services Branch was created with the Department of Revenue on April 23, 1968. It assumed the legal administration of the province's revenue statutes from the Treasury Department. The office was staffed by solicitors from the former Legal Branch of the Treasury Dept.

      It continued to exist until 1972, when it was replaced with a new Legal Services Branch within the Ministry of Revenue.
