  • publication bans

For civil cases in the Superior Court of Justice, you can use this tool to search:

  • most recent order type and date

For criminal cases in the Superior Court of Justice, you can use this tool to search:

This search tool will not provide information about cases that are subject to statutory or court-ordered public access restrictions. It will let you know if a court case is subject to a publication ban. The search tool may not reflect a publication ban that was recently granted. It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate courthouse about whether a case is subject to a publication ban, confirm the details of any publication ban, and comply with any publication bans or other restrictions.

This search tool will only provide information about active criminal cases:

  • with a future court date,
  • with a court date within the past 7 days, or
  • where a bench warrant issued within the past 5 years

If you are not able to find the information you need, you may contact the court office where the case was, or is being heard.

You can only use this tool to search for court case information. Any other use is prohibited, including saving, reproducing and distributing the information in this tool.
