Copy, file, and serve the documents
You'll need:
- Your completed forms:
- Application Response (Form F32)
- Every Affidavit (Form F30) and every document you intend to refer to in court, if it hasn't already been filed at the registry as part of this case.
- $25 to file an Application Response
- The other person's address for service
- An Affidavit of Ordinary Service (Form F16) (PDF)
Make copies
Make four copies of all your completed documents and any exhibits or attachments:
- The registry keeps the original.
- One copy is for you.
- Two copies are served on the other person.
- One copy is to attach to the Affidavit of Ordinary Service (Form F16).
File the forms at the court registry
Take the original and the three copies, plus the filing fees, to the Supreme Court registry.
A clerk at the registry will take your money, check your documents, stamp them with the court seal, and put the originals into the file for your case. They will give the stamped copies of the forms back to you.
Give the documents to the other person
You need to serve the Application Response, Affidavits and any exhibits that have not already been served, on the other person within 5 business days of being served with the Notice of Application (Form F31).
You can serve these documents by ordinary service. This means that you can:
- leave the documents at the other person's address for service (the address they put on their court documents, such as their Notice of Application),
- mail the documents by regular post to the other person's address for service, or
- email or fax the documents, if the other person provided an email address or fax number as part of their address for service.
