Judicial Review Document Services
Divisional Court · Rule 68
Application Records
Your Notice of Application (Form 68A), the decision and reasons, and the materials that were before the decision-maker, prepared in the Rule 68.04 order — indexed, paginated and bookmarked.
Affidavits & Exhibits
Only if you are filing one. Not every judicial review needs an affidavit — where you do file one, we prepare it from your materials and instructions, with its exhibits organized and labelled.
Factums
Your factum (Parts I to IV, certificate, Schedules A and B), prepared to Rule 68.04(3) and checked against the court’s published requirements.
How the Record Works
JRPA s. 10 · Rule 68.04
The Record of Proceedings
Filed by the decision-maker, not by you. Once served with your Notice of Application, a decision-maker that exercised a statutory power of decision must file the record of the proceeding in court (Judicial Review Procedure Act, s. 10). Where a hearing was held, it usually contains the document that started the proceeding, the notice of hearing, any interim orders, the documentary evidence, any transcript, and the decision and reasons (Statutory Powers Procedure Act, s. 20).
Your Application Record
Rule 68.04(2) sets the contents and their order: a table of contents; the Notice of Application; the reasons under review; any affidavits and other material served; a list of the relevant transcripts; and any other material in the court file needed for the hearing — including the parts of the Record of Proceedings you rely on.
Is an Affidavit Required?
Not always. Rule 68.04 includes affidavits only if a party serves them, and the court generally decides the case on the record that was before the decision-maker — new evidence is allowed only in limited circumstances. Where no Record of Proceedings is filed, the decision and the materials before the decision-maker are usually put before the court as exhibits to an affidavit. Ask a lawyer or paralegal whether your matter needs one.

Application Record — Contents & Timelines
An application for judicial review is generally made within 30 days after the decision, unless another Act provides otherwise; the court can extend the time (Judicial Review Procedure Act, s. 5).
The Notice of Application is served on the decision-maker and the other parties, and on the Attorney General of Ontario (JRPA, s. 9(4)).
Filed by the decision-maker once it is served, where the decision was made under a statutory power of decision (JRPA, s. 10).
Within 30 days after the Record of Proceedings is filed, or within 30 days after the application is started where no record is needed (Rule 68.04(1)). A certificate of perfection is filed with the record (Rule 68.05).
Application Record contents (Rule 68.04(2)), in this order:
- Table of contents
- Notice of Application
- The reasons of the tribunal or decision-maker under review
- All affidavits and other material served by any party for use on the application
- A list of all relevant transcripts of evidence, in chronological order
- Any other material in the court file needed for the hearing — such as the parts of the Record of Proceedings you rely on
The respondent then has 30 days after service of your record and factum to deliver its own (Rule 68.04(4)). You confirm the deadline that applies to your matter.
Is an Affidavit Required?
Whether you file an affidavit, and what it says, is your decision — ask a lawyer or paralegal about your matter. If you are filing one, the Application Record package includes preparation of one affidavit with up to 10 exhibits.
