      BCCA procedural practice
      Sequencing application in the court of appeal (prior to an appeal being heard), does anyone have precedents for this type of application?

      Document Management Programs
      Hi all,

      Our firm is doing research into obtaining new document management software. I'm curious what other firms are using and whether you think the software is helpful. I've used Time Matters in the past and while it does have some great features for time calculation and etc., it feels unintuitive and adding things into the program takes awhile. Also once you complete your BF it disappears from the system...

      Thanks for your thoughts!

      • Mayette Ostonal We've been using Worldox for a few years now and we are a mid-sized firm. As a DMS, I really like it and I don't use it to its full capacity.

As a DMS, I really like it and I don't use it to its full capacity. However, it's not an all-inclusive program like others are (you mentioned BFs and to my knowledge, it doesn't have a BF component or any time management component). But, it's really easy to save and search documents and others tell me it's quite easy to create specialized searches. The problem is in order for it to work properly, everyone has to use the same naming conventions, which some people are not inclined to do. Hope this helps!

      Ontario Civil Procedure
      Does anyone out there have an up to date "litigation checklist" for Ontario Court Procedure? It's confusing at the best of times, and I am having some issues knowing exactly what to file and when. Thought I would reach out and see if anyone has any good resources so I don't re-invent the wheel.... see more Does anyone out there have an up to date "litigation checklist" for Ontario Court Procedure?

      Exhibit stamps in digital format. I am tired of wrestling with PDF and Word to come up with a legible, consistent stamp. What do our expert document management people do?

      Interest Calculator
      I'm curious as to what interest calculators people use, specifically in calculating interest on special damages and wage loss. We had an interest calculator program we used before but once we upgraded to a new version of Windows, the program developer said it wasn't worth it for him financially... see more I'm curious as to what interest calculators people use, specifically in calculating interest on special damages and wage loss. We had an interest calculator program we used before but once we upgraded to a new version of Windows, the program developer said it wasn't worth it for him financially to make the upgrade work for the new Windows. So, we're relying on a free one I found on the internet and the Dye & Durham calculator, which many people find difficult to use. Thanks!

      • Cathy G. Flores omg. Can't believe we asked about the same thing. (I just posted my query before reading this, Mayette.) Thanks for reinforcing this issue!

I was so frustrated with not being able to find anything (specifically for interest on wage loss), that I just created an excel spreadsheet that people around the office use whenever the need arises. But with regular pre- or post-judgment calcuations, I've used the free online one and the results were the same as the ones on the D&D one.
