The QB Filing Digital Service will accept filing during the Christmas Closure. The Service currently accepts many general Civil documents to be filed in the Judicial Centres of Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge and Red Deer. Please note: documents will not be processed until January 4th or later. Counsel are encouraged to
1) sign up for the QB Filing Digital Service located here: https://qb-filing.alberta.ca/,
2) review the list of documents that can be processed through the service (list contained in above link), and
3) submit the allowed documents using the QB Filing Digital Service during the Christmas closure.
If counsel is submitting more than one document, it is mandatory that both documents be allowed in the QB Filing Digital Service; otherwise please submit using e-mail filing after January 4, 2022.
As digital filing lead times are shorter, this will lead to documents being processed more quickly starting January 4, 2022. Please note that documents that cannot be filed using the service will be rejected and will need to be re-submitted using e-mail filing.
