Good to know

What the official site publishes

Forms, applicable fees, deadlines, opening hours, current contact details and accessibility information. These are the only reliable sources for those items, because they change.

Documents to gather

Generally: any official notice received (with the dates on it), the contracts or agreements at issue, relevant correspondence, proof of payments, and a factual timeline of events.

Language of proceedings

Both French and English may be used before Quebec courts. The services offered and documents available in each language vary by body — the official site sets this out.

Representing yourself

Some bodies allow parties to represent themselves; others do not, and the rules differ between bodies. Check the official site before starting anything.

If your means are limited

Legal aid exists in Quebec for people who qualify based on income and the nature of the matter. The Barreau du Québec also runs a referral service.
