CanLII’s feedback form allows users to report issues or share concerns about the platform’s content or functionalities. Here are some examples.

To report issues or concerns about the content of a document:

Please fill out the form to alert CanLII of a problem regarding a document available on this site. We will follow up as soon as possible, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on business days.

If this document concerns you personally, please start by reading the FAQ question 4.2: A decision concerning me is published on CanLII. Can I have it withdrawn from the site or have my name removed from it?

To report the absence of recent decisions

If you think that CanLII is missing a recent decision, you can report it to us.

As a matter of editorial policy CanLII only publishes documents that are distributed by courts, tribunals or other institutions, through formal acquisition channels.

In order for us to request the decision from the issuing court or tribunal, as many of the following details as possible will be needed:

  • The neutral citation of the requested decision, if available
  • Name of court or tribunal
  • Case name
  • Date of decision
  • Docket or file number
  • Name of judge or adjudicator

We publish decisions upon reception from the court, board or tribunal. Some delays may occur before a missing decision reported to us is published, for the availability of a decision on CanLII depends on the source institution and its distribution policy.

For courts, boards or tribunals that wish to add their databases and/or decisions to CanLII for publication

Please use this form if you want to make your databases and/or decisions available on CanLII. We will get back to you within a few days.

To report the absence of secondary law content
