It is now easier for court users to submit litigation and court file search requests.
The new RedCrest-Search website, which improves how you can submit litigation and court file search requests, is now available to use.
On RedCrest-Search you are able to:
- complete an online form to submit litigation searches (name searches)
- complete an online form to request access to documents on a court file
- pay any associated fees
- view and download results of litigation searches
- view and download documents requested in a court file search (if approved by the registry).
More about litigation searches
The new RedCrest-Search enhances your ability to conduct litigation searches, giving you the option to perform a search on partial or exact matches, specify a date range, and search up to 30 names on one online form. Litigation search results will also be delivered faster – with results available to download the next day.
More about court file searches
You can also request a court file search using an online form. If your search request is approved, you will be able to download the documents using RedCrest-Search.
Searches for Probate Office advertisements and records are not affected by this change. Find out more about how to search Probate Office advertisements and records.
