A team and advisory panel have assisted JP Boyd in migrating and updating the [www.bcfamilylawresource.com BC Family Law Resource]. This is a test of the Lingo extension (see [[Terminology]]):
 
<blockquote>Acting out of caution and concern for the well being of honest citizens, the Act government introduced an Act (def) to protect against fraud by dishonest would-be immigrants. An Action could be brought to strike out the laws, but a test case is needed. On a related point, Proof that a Marriage was entered into fraudulently may be grounds for Divorce and a Declaration by the courts that the marriage be deemed Null and Void, Ab Initio. <br />
An Infant may not commence an Action, except with the aid of a guardian ad litem, who may or may not be a Guardian. Pundits warn that Hearsay may soon be expanded to include any testimony by witnesses who use social media.

Normally referred to as the "Supreme Court of British Columbia," this court hears most of the trials in this province. The Supreme Court is a court of inherent jurisdiction and has no limits on the sorts of claims it can hear or on the sorts of orders it can make. Decisions of the Provincial Court are appealed to the Supreme Court; decisions of the Supreme Court are appealed to the Court of Appeal. See "Court of Appeal," "jurisdiction," "Provincial Court" and "Supreme Court of Canada."

A court established and staffed by the provincial government, which includes Small Claims Court, Youth Court, and Family Court. The Provincial Court is the lowest level of court in British Columbia and is restricted in the sorts of matters it can deal with. It is, however, the most accessible of the two trial courts and no fees are charged to begin or defend a family law proceeding. The Family Court of the Provincial Court cannot deal with the division of family property or any claims under the Divorce Act. See "Divorce Act," "judge" and "jurisdiction."

A person licensed to practice law in a particular jurisdiction by that jurisdiction's law society. See "barrister and solicitor."
