Ontario Court Dates Finder
Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice lets parties book many civil and family hearings online, through Calendly booking pages run by each courthouse. There are about a hundred of them across the seven judicial regions, and each one shows only its own dates. The Ontario Court Dates Finder reads every page fourteen times a day and gathers the six earliest open days for each hearing type into one place, so you can see the next available court date in Toronto, Brampton, Ottawa or anywhere else in Ontario without opening the pages one by one. Every date links to that day on the court’s own booking page. Check out our other free tools below.
What you see is the most recent reading, not a live view. The time of that reading is shown at the top of the page, and the page refreshes itself when a new one lands. Dates can be booked, and new ones released, between readings, so open the booking page before you rely on one. “No dates” means nothing was bookable within the next 18 months at the last reading, which usually means the court has not yet released that period. The wait in days is the gap between the reading and the earliest open date; it says nothing about how long your matter will take.

Common Questions
Which Ontario court hearings can I book online?
The Superior Court of Justice uses Calendly booking pages for many civil and family appearances: motions before judges and associate judges, case conferences, settlement conferences, pre-trials, trial scheduling courts and dispute resolution officer conferences, plus Small Claims Court motions in Toronto and estates scheduling appointments. What is offered varies by courthouse. This tool reads every page on the court’s Calendly index.
How current are the dates shown here?
Each date comes from the most recent reading, and its time is shown at the top of the page. We read the booking pages hourly from 7 AM to 5 PM Eastern, then at 7 PM, 9 PM and midnight. A reading starts on the hour and takes about ten minutes, and the page updates itself when a new one lands.
What does “No dates” mean?
At the last reading, nothing was bookable on that page within the next 18 months. Usually the court has not yet released dates for that period, and they appear later, often in a batch. Occasionally a page is simply full. The booking page link on the card takes you to the court’s own page to check directly.
Why is a date shown here gone when I click through?
Someone booked it between our reading and your click. Court dates are first come, first served, and popular ones can go within minutes. The reverse happens too: a date can open after our reading and show on the court’s page before it shows here. Treat this page as a guide to where to look, and the court’s page as the final word.
What does the wait in days actually measure?
The number of days from the reading to the earliest open date on that booking page, nothing more. It does not include the steps you must complete before booking, notice to other parties, or how long your matter will take once heard.
How do I know which judicial region my case is in?
The Superior Court divides Ontario into seven judicial regions, and your case is heard in the region where it was started. If you are not sure which that is, our Ontario Judicial Regions Map lets you look up any courthouse or municipality. Then choose that region at the top of this page.
Can I get an email when an earlier date opens?
For Toronto, yes. The Toronto Court Dates Monitor watches the Toronto booking pages and emails you when a date opens that is earlier than yours. Alerts for other courthouses are coming; until then, this page is the quickest way to check, and it updates every hour.
