Effective December 4, 2024, the Court of King’s Bench Filing Digital Service (Civil & Chambers) will expand to include digital orders.
What orders are accepted?
For this initial expansion, digital orders can be created for Orders for Substitutional Service and submitted with file requests that meet the following criteria:
- Civil matters
- Subsequent filings (action number already on file)
- Desk applications
- To Applications Judges
More order types will be available soon.
What is a digital order?
A digital order is created by filling out an online form instead of uploading a PDF.
Once finalized, a digital order can be attached and submitted as part of a filing request. If needed, it can be easily edited by a Justice / Applications Judge prior to signing.
What are the benefits?
Digital orders facilitate processes that are difficult or impossible with PDFs. They are intended to:
- Decrease chance of rejection
- Improve efficiency
- Speed up processes
While it is not mandatory, lawyers and legal assistants are encouraged to use the new functionality whenever possible.
For more information, see the digital orders section of the help page.
