Court forms

April 27, 2021

As of March 1, 2021, the Supreme Court of British Columbia rescinded Administrative Notice Number 1 and requested that Court Services Branch registry staff review some Supreme Court forms before they are accepted at the registry.

To assist the public and legal community, template forms that contain the required checking points are available.

Effective May 3, 2021, the Supreme Court has requested that Court Services Branch registry staff ensure, for specified filings, that there are at least eight business days between an application and hearing date being set. This applies to the following forms:

• Supreme Court Civil
  • Notice of Application Form 32
  • Notice of Hearing Form 68
  • Requisition (when resetting a hearing – unless the date is by consent) Form 17
• Supreme Court Family
  • Notice of Application Form F31
  • Notice of Hearing F75
  • Requisition (When resetting a hearing – unless the date is by consent) Form F17

Further information regarding the rules can be found online at: Supreme Court Civil Rules, Supreme Court Family Rules.
