Public registry of persons found to be quarrelsome by the Court of Québec

When you receive a formal notice, you can check whether the person or enterprise intending to sue you has been found to be a quarrelsome litigant.

Such persons and enterprises are listed in the public registry of persons found to be quarrelsome by the Court of Québec.

This public register contains:

  • the names of persons and enterprises subject to an order by the Court of Québec finding them quarrelsome;
  • the content of each order.

The order limits the right of the person or enterprise concerned to act before the Court, since the person or enterprise must obtain authorization from a judge before launching any legal action. An order may be issued, for example, after the person or enterprise has launched a large number of unjustified cases.
