Court Services Online
Court Services Online (CSO) is an initiative of the Court Services Branch of the B.C. Ministry of Attorney General and the B.C. Judiciary. CSO provides electronic court registry services via the Internet with 24/7 access to every court registry in the province.

For a $6 per file service fee, the CSO e-search service provides access to court record information on Small Claims matters, most Supreme Court civil matters, and appeals in the Court of Appeal. There is also an option to order copies of court documents with delivery via fax or regular mail for a fee of $10 per document.

CSO will soon begin a pilot of its e-filing service. E-filing will allow users to electronically file court documents to any registry in the province.

Look for a feature on CSO e-filing in the December issue of BarTalk.
