eDiscovery in
New Brunswick.
In Canada’s only officially bilingual province, the affidavit of documents arrives on ten days’ notice and the record arrives in two languages. We are built for both facts.
Bilingual EN + FRData hosted in CanadaNo ingestion feesSenior-led
Bilingual files are
our default setting.
New Brunswick litigates in English and French as a matter of constitutional design — the Rules of Court themselves are published bilingually — and the evidence follows suit: a single custodian’s mailbox can switch languages mid-thread. Review teams that only read one of them miss half the file. Ours read both, natively.
noticia supports New Brunswick firms and in-house teams remotely across all eight judicial districts: preservation and collection, processing, hosted review with AI assistance that shows its reasoning, and productions with the affidavit support behind them. No minimums, no ingestion fees, data hosted in Canada.
The local rules
Discovery under
Rule 31.
Documentary discovery in the Court of King’s Bench of New Brunswick runs on Rule 31 of the Rules of Court: every document that relates to a matter in issue and is or has been in a party’s possession or control must be disclosed, whether or not privilege is claimed — with “document” defined as a record of information however recorded or stored, expressly including electronic means.
The trigger is distinctive: the Affidavit of Documents (Form 31B) is served on demand, within ten days of receiving a Notice Requiring Affidavit of Documents (Form 31A). Ten days is no time at all to inventory mailboxes, phones and shared drives — so the practical deadline is whenever your opponent decides to serve the notice, and the safe posture is having the preservation and collection work already done.

What we do
eDiscovery,
à la carte.
We support law firms, in-house counsel and public bodies in New Brunswick along the whole eDiscovery timeline. Take one stage or hand over the file: our team becomes your team, and you buy only the slice you need.
Preserve & collect
Litigation holds, custodian interviews and defensible collection from M365, Google Workspace, mobile devices and the DMS — with hashes and chain of custody.
Process & assess
Everything into one reviewable set — deduplicated, threaded, de-NISTed — and an early cut that drops the volume you pay to host.
Review
Bilingual reviewers inside Nuix Discover, with Claira handling first-pass volume and showing its reasoning. Your team keeps every call.
Produce & defend
Exchange-ready productions in the agreed format, with the paperwork — schedules, logs, affidavits — that makes them stick.
The full menu — from litigation holds to trial support — is on our services page. If you want the platform rather than the people, we host Nuix Discover in Canada with Claira for AI-assisted review, and we run platform migrations from Relativity, Ipro and everything else.
Managed review
Document review support in New Brunswick.
When the set is too big for the litigation team to read on the side of a desk, we staff it: trained bilingual reviewers, senior oversight, calibration against your instructions, and QC sampling that is reported, not asserted.
AI carries the first pass where it helps — Claira works inside Nuix Discover and shows its reasoning document by document — and can cut review time by up to 80%, while relevance, issue and privilege calls stay with people accountable to you.
FAQ
The usual
questions.
When is the New Brunswick affidavit of documents due?
Ten days after any party serves a Notice Requiring Affidavit of Documents (Form 31A) — there is no automatic deadline, which means the clock can start whenever the other side chooses. Teams that preserve and collect early treat the notice as paperwork; teams that wait treat it as a crisis.
Can you review documents in French and English?
Yes — bilingual review, correspondence and productions are the default at noticia, not an add-on line item. Reviewers work in both languages, and productions go out in whichever language the matter calls for.
How fast can a review start?
Processing starts as soon as data lands, and a calibrated review team — with Claira carrying the first pass — is usually making calls within days of scope being agreed, not weeks.
