Civil & Commercial Litigation
Court Clerk
The court clerk assists judges in the functioning of the court and procedural acts. They notably participate in the registration of cases and the monitoring of hearings. The court registry thus constitutes an important procedural interlocutor for the parties.
When contacting, prepare the case reference, the identity of the parties, and your specific question. Information about a hearing or a filing does not constitute a legal analysis of your request. Keep proof of the steps taken and verify the documents required by the procedure rather than relying on an imprecise exchange.
To obtain usable information, formulate a precise procedural request: confirmation of a filing, hearing date, or missing document. The registry and the lawyer have different functions; a response on the organization of the file does not determine the merits of the arguments.
