These courts are statutory courts; they do not exercise an inherent jurisdiction. Resort to these courts should be rare and should always conform to a strict interpretation of the //Federal Courts Act//. When in doubt, conduct additional research. //Unlike clerks in service to the provincial superior courts, registry officials at the Federal Court of Appeal and Federal Court may be expected to be competent, diligent, and helpful.// Telephone numbers for the federal courts, along with registry addresses, may be found here: [[https://www.cas-satj.gc.ca/en/operations/numbers.shtml]]. General inquiries for the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court should be made to: __reception.reception@cas-satj.gc.ca__. The rules for both courts may be found at: [[https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-98-106/]]. Be sure, however, to also consult the latest edition of //Canadian Federal Courts Practice//, which is available electronically on LexisNexis. ==== Federal Court of Appeal ==== **Court contact** * Federal Court of Appeal - Ottawa registry: 613 996 6795 * [[https://www.cas-satj.gc.ca/en/pages/registry/numbers|Registry phone numbers]] **Court files search** * Search by party name: [[https://apps.fca-caf.gc.ca/pq/IndexingQueries/infp_queries_e.php]]; * Search by court file number: [[https://apps.fca-caf.gc.ca/pq/DocketQueries/dq_queries_e.php]]. ==== Federal Court ==== ** Court contact ** * Federal Court - Ottawa registry: 613 992 4238 * [[https://www.cas-satj.gc.ca/en/pages/registry/numbers|Registry phone numbers]] * Federal Court - Emergency duty officer: 613 769 3079 **Court files search** * Search by party name or court file number: [[https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/court-files-and-decisions/court-files#cont]]. **Hearing lists** * [[https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/court-files-and-decisions/hearing-lists]] **Sittings for hearing of motions** * [[https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/pages/court-files-and-decisions/hearings/general-sittings#cont]].
