Dear Mr. McNeil,
Re: Court File # 08-CV-00360651-00CP The Estate of Chesney Henry
"Chet" Baker Junior et al;
Thank you for your e-mail sent 15th December, 2009 to the Ministry of
the Attorney General regarding the above court file. Your e-mail has
been forwarded to this office for response.
The court file to which you refer was commenced in the Superior Court
of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, under the Class Proceedings Act.
Each court has jurisdiction over its own files. For the prescribed
fee(s), a search for information about a file can be made at the court
of origin and, subject to a judicial order to the contrary,
a photocopy of a document can be obtained. If you wish, you could
arrange for a local law firm to act as your agent, attend at the
Toronto court house, review the file, and make photocopies of any
documents your require. Those photocopies could then be faxed, or
scanned and e-mailed to you by your agent
.
If you wish to retain an Ontario lawyer, you may contact the Lawyer
Referral Service operated by the Law Society of Upper Canada. The
Lawyer Referral Service will provide you with the names of lawyers who
practice in Ontario in the relevant area of law. You can contact the
Service at (416) 947-3330, choose your language and then press 1 to
speak to an operator. Advise the operator that you are calling from
outside Ontario. The Law Society of Upper Canada also maintains a
list of lawyers in Ontario which may be viewed at the LSUC website at
http://www1.lsuc.on.ca/LawyerParalegalDirectory/index.jsp .
You may also wish to visit Justice Ontario, a Ministry website which
provides answers to basic questions about Ontario’s justice system.
Justice Ontario provides information on many aspects of Ontario’s
justice system, including lawsuits and disputes, family law, criminal
law, going to court, human rights, wills and estate planning, tickets
and fines, and how to find a lawyer. To access Justice Ontario
on-line, visit:
http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/justice-ont/ . For
access to legal information in over 170 languages, you can also reach
Justice Ontario by toll-free telephone at 1-866-252-0104.
I trust the above will be of assistance,
