Public registry of the litigants subject to authorization
When you receive a formal notice, you can check whether the person or enterprise intending to sue you has been identified as a litigant subject to authorization or a quarrelsome litigant.
Such persons and enterprises are listed in the public registry of litigants subject to authorization by the Court of Appeal of Québec.
This public register contains:
- the names of persons and enterprises subject to authorization by the Court of Appeal of Québec;
- the content of each order.
The order limits the right of the person or enterprise concerned to act before the Court, since the person or enterprise must obtain authorization from a judge before launching any legal action. An order may be issued, for example, after the person or enterprise has launched a large number of unjustified cases.
