Registering Your E-Filing Profile

• You must create a personal E-Filing profile to be allowed access to the E‑Filing application. After you register this profile, a confirmation page informing you of the approval process will be displayed. As part of this process, the Registry of the Specific Claims Tribunal (RSCT) will verify and register the information you provided. Once it has approved your registration, you will have full access to the E-Filing application.
  
  Any business and personal information you provide will be used solely for the purpose of granting you access to the claims in which you are specifically involved. The information you provide is protected under the provisions of the Privacy Act, which provides you with a right of access to your information.

Updating Your E-Filing Profile

• You can update and manage your E-Filing profile by clicking the UPDATE Your E-Filing Profile button on the E-Filing home page.
• 
  You have two (2) options in this section of the E-Filing application:
  
  
  • 1    Modify: make changes to your E-Filing profile.
    This action will update the database to ensure information associated with your E-Filing profile is current.
  • 2    Remove: erase your E-Filing profile entirely.
    This action will remove the information associated with your E-Filing profile from the database.

Submitting a Document

• You can submit a document to the Registry of the Specific Claims Tribunal (RSCT) and serve it on the other parties to a claim by clicking the SUBMIT a document button on the E-Filing home page and following these steps:
  
  
  • Step 1: Select a claim by clicking on the first letter of the style of cause you are searching for.
    (You may also select “Open a New Claim,” which, if approved, will trigger the creation of a new claim number and style of cause by a Specific Claims Tribunal Registry Officer.)
    
    
  • Step 2: Select the parties whom you want to receive the document(s) you are submitting. You may unselect parties whom you do not want to receive the document(s) by removing the check mark next to their names. Note: It is not possible to uncheck the Registry of the Specific Claims Tribunal. All documents submitted through E-Filing must be sent to the RSCT.
    
    
  • Step 3: Click the Browse button to browse your computer and locate the document(s) you want to submit. Click Attach.
    (You can submit more than one document. Repeat this process as many times as needed.)
    
    
  • Step 4: Review the document(s) you wish to submit.
    The document(s) you attached in the previous step will be displayed in a table before you submit them.
    (Documents can be removed from the table by unchecking the box next to the documents in question.)
    
    
  • Step 5 (optional): Enter a short message before submitting your document(s).
    
    
  • Step 6: Click Submit to send your document(s) to the Tribunal.
    
    

  After submitting your document(s), a confirmation page listing the document(s) you have submitted to the Tribunal will be displayed. The confirmation page also shows the date and time of your submission. A copy of this confirmation will be emailed to you. The RSCT will also receive an email informing it that a new document has been submitted.

  Rejected Documents

  Should the RSCT not accept a document you have submitted, an email will be sent to you as soon as the document is rejected. A Registry Officer will follow up with you either by phone or by sending a short message accompanying the document rejection email. Once a document has been rejected, the other parties that were served this document will no longer be able to access it on the E‑Filing website.

Retrieving a Document

• The RETRIEVE a document function allows users who have registered an E‑Filing profile with the RSCT to receive documents served on them.
  
  You can retrieve a document by clicking on the RETRIEVE a document button on the E-Filing home page.
  
  
  • Step 1: Highlight the file and submission for which you wish to retrieve documents from the list at the top of the page.
    
    
  • Step 2: Click the Acceptance of Service button. Note: By clicking Acceptance of Service the party is accepting service of all of the documents listed in the table with the submission regardless of whether they click the Retrieve button next to each document.
    
    
  • Step 3: Click the Retrieve button located to the left of each document you wish to retrieve to begin the transfer of that document.
    
    Note: Each party is responsible for saving retrieved documents. By default, all documents are available for only fifteen (15) days. Once the 15 days have elapsed, documents will no longer be available on the E-Filing website.
  
  After a document is retrieved, a confirmation email is sent to the RSCT and to the party who submitted the document(s) to inform them who has retrieved the document(s). In accordance with Practice Direction No. 9, emails generated by E‑Filing confirming retrieval of a document are now considered proof of service.
