Talk:Starting a Court Proceeding in a Family Matter

How chapter material relates to How Do I pages

There is quite a bit of overlap between some chapter pages and How Do I pages. For example, the pages How Do I Start a Family Law Action in the Provincial Court? and How Do I Start a Family Law Action in the Supreme Court? have overlapping info with what is in this chapter on Starting a Court Proceeding. Would it perhaps make more sense to house all the "how-to" procedural stuff in the How Do I pages, rather than have it at times mixed into the chapters? We could then give a snapshot summary of the process in the chapters, and then give the gory detail, step-by-step in the How Do I pages. Right now it's almost the reverse, which seems to be at odds with what I think many users will expect (that is, I think most would expect to find the detailed step-by-step under How Do I).

In law, something that is relevant or important. A material fact, for example, is a fact relevant to a claim or a defence to a claim. See "claim," "evidence" and "fact."
