A recently formed working group aims to better understand the experiences and expectations of litigants with civil and family law matters before the Superior Court of Quebec in Montreal. The working group is made up of citizens, organizations regularly representing clients in civil and family law matters before the Superior Court, external experts, and judges. The working group is chaired by Superior Court of Quebec judge, The Honourable Frédéric Pérodeau.

The working group aims to place citizens’ perspectives at the forefront of discussions, with the ultimate goal of adopting simplified mechanisms to improve the accessibility, efficiency and quality of services offered by the Court.

The creation of this working group directly aligns with objectives outlined in the Superior Court of Quebec’s 2024-2029 Strategic Plan.
