1. Excludes Ontario. Ontario figures include trial hearings for uncontested divorces. An uncontested trial is a trial in which only the party making the claim provides evidence and submissions. The figures are therefore not comparable.
Note: Data for Alberta for the vast majority of these event categories are not available, therefore Alberta has been excluded from this chart.
