Service of process in Nova Scotia
The Nova Scotia Civil Procedure Rules set out how originating documents are delivered and proved. We serve across the mainland and Cape Breton, with Halifax the fastest.
What's different here
Serving documents in Nova Scotia
Halifax and the region
Halifax, Dartmouth, and Bedford are next-day work on Rush. Elsewhere on the mainland and Cape Breton we schedule attempts and tell you the date.
Small Claims Court
Small Claims has its own forms and service requirements; we file the proof with the right court.
Marine and insurance work
A share of the work here is insurance and shipping-related. Tell us if the recipient is on a vessel or at a terminal — access is planned differently.
