Presenting
Your Case
At this Step, the Parties complete their
Submission Forms.
The Submission Form:
Each party must complete an Electronic Courthouse Submission Form. The
Submission Form allows each party to communicate all of the facts, arguments, and law
related to their case and to attach or otherwise disclose documentary and other evidence.
- Preparing the Submission Form: To complete your Submission, simply
click on the link below, enter your user name and password, select the Submission Form,
and begin completing the Form. You will probably not complete your Submission in a single
session. Simply click on the Save feature at the bottom of the Form at the end of each
session. (It is always a good idea to click on the Save feature periodically during a
session as well.) When you are ready to work on your Submission again, simply log in to
your secure workroom from the Electronic Courthouse Home Page and select
your Submission Form. This will take you directly to the saved version of your Form.
- Circulating your Form for Comments and Approvals: You may also wish to
circulate your draft Submission Form to your counsel, others in your
organization, or even
the other Party for comment. Simply print or save the Form to your local workstation. Then
you may circulate or email copies to others for comment or approval.
- Signing and Filing your Completed Submission: When you are satisfied
that your Submission is complete, simply click the Submit feature at the bottom of the
Form. For your protection, we also require a signed copy of your Submission Form. Simply
print the Form from your browser, add your signature, and fax your signed copy to us at
the number on the Form.
- Amendments and Additions Form: Once you have completed and filed your
Submission, and have reviewed the Submission of the other Party, you may wish to add or
amend your Submission to address issues raised by the other Party. Your original
Submission cannot be amended once it has been submitted. Amendments and additions are made
through the Amendments and Additions Form. Each party can file only one Amendments and
Additions Form this is your last chance to include all relevant information.
To complete an Amendments and Additions Form, simply click on the link below, enter your
user name and password, select Amendments and Additions Form, and begin completing the
Form. You may complete the Form in several sessions, or circulate it for comments or
approval by saving and printing the Form, as described above.
- Complete Disclosure: Please ensure that all information on which you
intend to rely is described in your Submission and any copies of documents are also
submitted. Information or documents not disclosed in your Submission cannot be relied on
in your Resolution Session, except with the consent of the Resolution
Professional.
- Honesty and Integrity:
The Electronic Courthouse's Resolution service is a legal process. It
results in final and binding legal decisions that are enforceable in courts of law.
Complete honesty and integrity is a fundamental element in the process. The Resolution
Professional is entitled to find in favour of the other Party or to require one Party to
compensate the other for its costs if the Resolution Professional finds that there has
been a deliberate attempt to mislead the other Party or the Resolution Professional.
