Vancouver Supreme Court case files

  • GR-3946
  • Series
  • 1970-1980; predominantly 1977-1979

The series consists of microfiched Supreme Court case files from the “A,” “B,” “C,” “H” and “X” records series. The majority of the case files date from the period 1977-1979, with some records dating from as early as 1970 and as late as 1980. The original case files were microfiched and destroyed before the final orders could be removed and filed separately; as such, these microfiche represent the only extant copy of the final order.

“A” and “X” series records appear to contain case files relating to legislated statutes, "B” series relates to Motor Vehicle cases, “C” series relates to general civil cases, and “H” series records deal with foreclosures.

The fiche are arranged by series, and then by case number. The case numbers are not arranged in a strict sequential order, but rather are arranged by record series, year, and then by the last two digits of the court file number. For example, all “A” series records from 1978 ending in “00” are grouped together (A780100, A780200, A780300, etc), followed by all the 1978 “A” series records ending in 01, and so on.

If a researcher is missing the file number, this can be located in indexes that are available to staff only. These indexes include both plaintiff and defendant in the same list. Once the file number has been located, this can be used to locate the case file and the order can be copied.

Vancouver Supreme Court indexes to case files

  • GR-4147
  • Series
  • 1988-1992

The series consists of indexes to Vancouver Supreme Court case files between 1988 and 1992. Entries provide plaintiff and defendant names, filing date, and a case number, which can be used to located associated orders found in GR-2011. Between ca. 1980 until 1994, civil case files were separated into different series by the court registry. Indexes include the following series: statutes (“A/J”), motor vehicle (“B”), general civil (“C”), and foreclosures (“H”). Case numbers each begin with the letter of their corresponding series.

Indexes are arranged by year and into two series groupings: “A” and “J” cases or “B”, “C”, and “H” cases. For 1988 and 1989, they are then separated into alphabetical plaintiff, defendant, and alias/cross-reference lists. Beginning in 1990, the lists are combined into a single list that can be searched using plaintiff, defendant, or alias/cross-reference. Original textual records were likely destroyed after microfilming; retrieve records using microfiche. The records were scheduled for full retention under Court Services ORCS (schedule 100152) 53200-20.
