Here is your daily LawFact from Wise Law for Wednesday April 27, 2016. Today we are talking about Civil Litigation.
Civil lawsuits in
Ontario’s Superior Court are commenced by issuing a document known as a
Statement of Claim. A Defendant who is served in Ontario must file a Statement
of Defence within 20 days of service.
If a Defendant is
served elsewhere in Canada or the US, a Statement of Defence must be filed
within 40 days of service. If a
Defendant is served outside Canada or the US, the Statement of Defence must be
filed within 60 days of service.
