New Westminster divorce cause books

  • GR-3749
  • Series
  • 1968-1977

The series consists of 8 volumes of divorce cause books created by the New Westminster Supreme Court between 1968 and 1977. The cause books are arranged chronologically, and cases are assigned a number in the cause book. Cause book entries generally consist of the names of the parties, their solicitors, a list of the proceedings, and a volume and folio number which can be used to obtain a copy of the divorce order. Cause books are a particularly valuable source of information, as they list proceedings for divorce trials that were ultimately dismissed or abandoned. In these instances, the only surviving evidence that the case took place is found in the divorce cause books, as no final order would have been issued.

New Westminster divorce trial book indexes

  • GR-3748
  • Series
  • 1967-1974

The series consists of seven small volumes of indexes to divorce trial record books created in the New Westminster Supreme Court registry between 1967 and 1974. The indexes provide a number which can be used to locate the corresponding divorce trial record in the appropriate book. Trial books are arranged by this number in reverse order, with the earlier numbers found at the back of the book. Numbers were continuous across volumes and do not reset to 1.

It is unclear whether these indexes were originally tucked inside the trial record books, or if they were maintained separately as a manual indexing system.

New Westminster Supreme and County Court indexes

  • GR-3745
  • Series
  • 1978-1981

The series consists of photocopies of computer printouts of court indexes. Although copies in this series were created by the New Westminster County Court, the indexes refer to records created by several levels of the court system, including both the Supreme and County Courts in New Westminster. The series covers civil cases initiated between 1978 and 1981. The indexes list the date of initiation, the name of the individual or business involved, whether that individual or business is the plaintiff or defendant, and the case number.

These copies of the indexes were created for staff at the BC Archives prior to the transferal of original indexes from the New Westminster courts. They were retained as a reference set, although they are likely to have been mostly or completely superseded with the subsequent transferal of various indexes from the courts.

The indexes list a variety of cases, including but not limited to divorces and probates. Records in this series are arranged first by year and then alphabetically within the year groupings.
