To get to court, you must start a court proceeding and tell the court what you want. In the Provincial Court, proceedings are started with a court form called an Application to Obtain an Order. In the Supreme Court, the court form is called a Notice of Family Claim. In the Provincial Court, the person who starts a court proceeding is called the ''Applicant''; in the Supreme Court, this person is the ''Claimant''. | To get to court, you must start a court proceeding and tell the court what you want.
