Online Legal Services for Ontario Courts
In the last year and a half, the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General has implemented online filing services and digital document sharing for family law, civil law and small claims matters before Ontario courts.
Then, in Summer 2020, the Ministry of the Attorney General expanded online filing for documents for family law and civil law matters by introducing two new online submission portals.
Currently, the Ontario Government is also in the process of expanding a new digital document sharing platform called “CaseLines” that allows the sharing of documents online with all parties, judges and court staff.
These advances, along with online notary services, are making it easier than ever for those in Ontario to access legal services.
