Court Administration Service

The Courts Administration Service (CAS) provides services to the Federal Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada and the Tax Court of Canada. 

For access to court files and information about court procedures, we encourage you to contact your local registry office.

If you need information about particular activities or services regarding the four courts we support, we encourage you to visit their respective websites.

The general purposes set out for the organization in the Courts Administration Service Act are to:

  • facilitate coordination and cooperation among the four courts for the purpose of ensuring the effective and efficient provision of administrative services;

  • enhance judicial independence by placing administrative services at arm's length from the Government of Canada and by affirming the roles of chief justices and judges in the management of the courts; and

  • enhance accountability for the use of public money in support of court administration while safeguarding the independence of the judiciary.
