Email to chambers

The Filing Office must transmit a document requiring Court action to the appropriate judge's chambers by email if emergent, or by the next physical transport when time is not of the essence.

Once the Filing Office determines the Document requires Court action, they shall take steps necessary to transmit the Document to the appropriate judge's chambers (whether via email where emergent or by the next physical transport time when time is not of the essence).

WARNING

Inquiries about handling case-file documents must first go to the Filing Office’s Solicitor; unresolved inquiries may then be made to the Court.

Any inquiries regarding appropriate handling of case file documents shall be addressed initially by the Filing Office’s Solicitor. To the extent the initial inquiries remain, the Filing Office may make an inquiry to the Court.
