Guidelines for use of forms

The following guidelines apply to the use of these forms, whether you are using the user-friendly MS Word version or creating your own form based on the prescribed form.

When printing the form:

use good quality printer paper, 216 mm x 279 mm (8.5" x 11"),
print only on one side of the paper.

If you complete the form on a computer before printing it:

if using the MS Word version, do not change the format,
if that version is not available and you are creating your own form, make the format similar to the format of the prescribed form,
use double spacing between lines,
make sure the left hand margin is about 40 mm (1 ½ inches) wide.

If you complete the form in handwriting, make sure the handwriting is readable.

If the form requires a cover page, you must include it.

If the form is an affidavit:

the font must be size 14,
the pages must be numbered,
exhibits must be separated by numbered or lettered tabs,
the completed form, including exhibits, must be stapled or bound so that pages and exhibits do not become loose or separated.

If your form includes a dollar amount, use a decimal point to show dollars and cents (e.g. $250.00).

If you need legal advice, call a lawyer or Legal Aid.
