Biographical history
In 1922, approved and ordered by Order-in-Council 0421-1922 (April 12, 1922), Penticton was “fixed as a place for the holding of the County Court of Yale,” effective May 1, 1922.
By the same Order-in-Council, the British Columbia government established a Supreme Court registry at Penticton, effective the same date. The OIC refers to “a registry” for the Supreme Court, but does not refer to a registry for the County Court.
All County Courts were merged into the Supreme Court on July 1, 1990.
Custodial history
Volumes of County and Family court indexes appear to have been in the custody of the Supreme Court registry prior to their transfer to the BC Archives.
