Kelowna Supreme Court civil orders and judgements

  • GR-4252
  • Series
  • 1923-1986

Series consists of original civil orders and judgements created between 1923 and 1986 by the Kelowna Supreme Court. Orders are the formal expression of the ruling of the court and judgements are the final orders issued in a case. Records relate to a variety of civil matters including divorce, estates, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and some adoptions. In later years, divorce, adoption, and probate orders may also be located within their own series.

Orders and judgements are interfiled. From 1923-1961, records were arranged by entered date and assigned a sequential folio number by the court registry (nos. 1-1305). From 1962-1973, the assigned folio numbering sequence was re-set each year, starting with 1/1962. Beginning in 1974, all orders and judgements for a case are filed together by case file number. This means that records of varying dates are interfiled. Box 6, folder 12 includes orders for cases initiated but not finalized before 1974. The records were scheduled for full retention under Court Services ORCS (schedule 100152) 51400-25.

Kelowna Supreme Court divorce orders

  • GR-4183
  • Series
  • 1977-1996; predominantly 1977-1986

The series consists of original decrees nisi, decrees absolute, and divorce orders created between 1977 and 1996 (predominantly between 1977-1986) by the Kelowna Supreme Court registry. Between 1968 and 1985, a judgement by way of decree nisi required a three-month waiting period before a judgement by way of decree absolute could be applied for. During this time, a divorce was not legally in effect without a decree absolute. After 1985, divorce orders automatically came into effect 31 days after the divorce was granted, barring an appeal.

Decrees nisi and decrees absolute are filed together and arranged by case number, not by volume and folio or by date. This means that records of varying dates are interfiled. Orders transferred to the Kelowna registry from other court registries within the province were not assigned a Kelowna case file number and are filed alphabetically by last name at the end of this series. The records were scheduled for full retention under Court Services ORCS (schedule 100152) 51440-25.
