Do I have to be a lawyer to file a Writ?
No. A lawyer or paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario can file and maintain a Writ.
Note: Lawyers can process and maintain a Writ of Execution enforcing an Order awarded by the Superior Court of Justice – Civil or Small Claims Court.
Paralegals can process and maintain a Writ of Execution enforcing an Order only awarded by the Superior Court of Justice –Small Claims Court.
