→Court procedure in a nutshell
Court proceedings in the Provincial Court and the Supreme Court, other than criminal proceedings, work more or less like this:
<blockquote>'''The respondent files a reply.''' The respondent has a fixed amount of time after being served to respond to the court proceeding by filing a reply in court. The reply says which orders the respondent agrees to and which are objected to. The respondent may ask the court for other orders; if other orders are needed, the respondent will file a claim of his or her own. The reply and any new claim must be delivered to the claimant.</blockquote>
