You can deliver court documents to the City by email to the City Clerk or the Deputy Clerk if the City Clerk is not available.
While electronic submission via email is preferred, court documents can be delivered to the City Clerk in person at the Legal and Clerks Services Counter at City Hall. If the City Clerk is unavailable, delivery can be made to the Deputy Clerk.
How to serve an originating process document
If you are serving an originating process document, the City consents to delivery via email to the City Clerk by email.
Ensure that you include the following in your email:
- Your name, address, telephone number, fax (if applicable) and email address
- The date and time of transmission
- Name and telephone number of a person to contact in the event of transmission problems
Please note that if you send an email between 4 p.m. and midnight, service will be deemed to have been made the following day.
An Originating Process can also be served by leaving a copy of the document with the City Clerk or Deputy Clerk at the Legal and Clerks Services Counter at City Hall.
