Just curious why decisions from the OCJ are rarely if ever included.
That’s a great question, thanks for asking! There are significantly less cases posted on CanLII from the OCJ. For example, thus far in June 2016 on CanLII, there have been 32 OCJ decisions published, and 172 for the SCJ. We do check both courts for these posts, but unfortunately Ottawa decisions do not come up nearly as much as they do in the SCJ. I’m not sure the exact reason or reasons why so many fewer cases are published from that court, but we’re certainly keeping an eye out for them.
