JOINT Ontario Bar Assocation / Ministry of the Attorney General PROGRAM
Original Program Date: April 21, 2017

Christopher Johns, Executive Director of the Innovation Office, Modernization Division at the Ministry of the Attorney General, will speak about a prototype civil e-filing service to be launched on April 24, 2017.

Phase 1 of the service will enable e-filing of the documents required to initiate a civil action in the Superior Court of Justice, auto-issuance of statements of claim and notices of action, and online payment. The pilot will be launched in Brampton, Ottawa, London, Newmarket and Sudbury, with a province-wide rollout to commence later in the year. The second phase of the service will be introduced shortly after the full rollout of phase 1, and will enable the e-filing of additional document types.

Learn more about this initiative and other modernization plans in a webinar for OBA members. This will be one of a number of opportunities for members of legal community to engage with the ministry as they develop new programs and services to enhance access to justice in Ontario.
