In 2003/2004, the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics began implementing its new Civil Court Survey, an ongoing national survey that collects information on court events and cases for both general civil and family actions. Limited data from two provinces and two territories (Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Yukon, and Nunavut) are now available.
The survey was developed through funding from the Department of Justice's Child-Centered Family Law Strategy. Survey coverage will be expanded, and it is anticipated that seven jurisdictions will be participating in the survey by 2007/2008.
Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 5052.
Data are available upon request only. For more information, or to enquire about concepts, methods or data quality of this release, contact Information and Client Services (toll-free 1-800-387-2231; 613-951-9023), Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics.
