Justice Services Online allows litigants to upload and send their court documents to the court, such as Statement of Claim, and even affidavits. Case Center is a platform that allows litigants to share their documents online during a virtual hearing. Note that the two systems are NOT integrated as of the time of publishing this video. Lawyers Heather Douglas and Heather Hui-Litwin explain in easy to understand terms what these two new features are all about. Please note that not all Ontario courts are using Case Center.
