Orders and endorsements

Court: Ontario family courts — court-specific procedure may differ

An endorsement records a judge’s directions or decision; a formal order is the court order prepared and issued in the form required for enforcement and future steps.

After a court appearance, the judge may issue an endorsement setting out the decision, directions, agreements, deadlines or next court event. The endorsement should be read carefully because it can change the timetable and may impose obligations that differ from the default procedural rules.

A formal order puts the court’s operative terms into an issued order. Some steps, enforcement processes or appeals require the formal order rather than only the endorsement. If the wording of an order is disputed, the Family Law Rules contain procedures for settling or approving its form.
