Bring a civil motion without retyping moving party and counsel details

Parties bringing a motion in civil proceedings repeat moving party identity, responding party names, counsel contacts, and court file references on every Form 37A Notice of Motion. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Ontario Superior Court of Justice — ontariocourts.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): FORM 37A - Courts of Justice Act. Notice of Motion — rcp-37a

What this form is about

Form rcp-37a is Form 37A — Notice of Motion under the Courts of Justice Act and Rules of Civil Procedure, commencing a motion — confirm motion content and timelines on ontariocourts.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Moving party legal name and address.
• Responding party name and address.
• Moving counsel name, firm, address, and contacts.
• Court file number, relief sought, and motion date — prepare with counsel.
