Effective August 1, 2023
The Binding Judicial Dispute Resolution (Binding JDR) pilot project was introduced in Kitchener Unified Family Court (SCJ) on November 1, 2022. This pilot allows parties in a family law case, on consent, to choose Binding JDR to arrive at a final resolution of their case without the need for a trial.
For information about the Binding JDR Pilot, how to request and schedule a hearing, how to file evidence for the hearing, what to expect at a Binding JDR hearing, and for links to all the Binding JDR forms, please refer to the Practice Advisory Concerning the Superior Court of Justice’s Binding Judicial Dispute Resolution (JDR) Pilot Project
