PART C: Preparing Court Documents

Rules for Preparing Documents in Court of Queen's Bench

 

The Court of Queen's Bench Rules set out the rules for what your court documents must look like. The examples of documents in this Part follow these rules.

When you create your court documents, make sure to:

• prepare all court documents on clean, white 8 1/2" x 11" paper
• use only one side of the paper
• type, use a computer, or write clearly and neatly
• leave a left margin of 40 mm/ 4 cm (1.7 inches)
• use double-spacing or write only on every second line
• use page numbers at the bottom of each page
• do not have a page with only a signature on it
• show any dates, sums and numbers in numeric form (e.g. January 13, not January thirteen; or 12 days, not twelve days)
