Complete and file the Order to Waive Fees (Form F85)
You'll need:
- The original and one copy of the Order to Waive Fees (Form F85)
The next step is to get the judge or master to sign a written copy of the Order to Waive Fees (Form F85). When you went to court, you brought along your copies of the draft order (the original and one copy).
On the draft order:
- After the word "Before," write the name of the judge or master who granted the order.
- If it was a judge, write "Before the Honourable Mr. Justice" (or Madam Justice, for a woman) and the judge's name (for example, Mr. Justice White, or Madam Justice Brown).
- If a master heard your case, write "Before Master" and the master's name (for example, "Before Master Green").
On each copy of the order:
- Write the day, month, and year when you appeared in court if the clerk hasn't already done so.
- Write the additional terms the judge or master made, if there are any.
Take the original copy of the order to the court registry.
- The original is given to the judge or master for his/her signature.
- You'll receive a photocopy of the original once it's signed and entered as an order of the court.
Once the order has been granted, completed, and signed by the judge/master, registry staff will enter the order and make a copy for you. Be sure to ask the clerk how long it usually takes to have the written order signed and entered and where you should go to pick up your copy.
