eDiscovery on
Prince Edward Island.
PEI runs Ontario-style rules with an Island twist: broader “relating to” disclosure, and an affidavit of documents due ten days after pleadings close. We make both manageable.

Small province,
full-size obligations.
Island matters carry the same disclosure duties as anywhere else in the country — often on tighter timelines and with leaner teams. A two-lawyer firm facing a hundred thousand emails has exactly the problem a national firm has, minus the review floor. That is the gap noticia exists to fill.
Everything runs remotely: collection tooling reaches Island systems from wherever they are hosted, review happens in a Canadian-hosted platform, and productions move by secure exchange. No minimum volumes, no ingestion fees — the economics work at PEI scale because they were designed à la carte.
The local rules
Ontario’s rules,
with an Island accent.
PEI adopted the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure in 1990 and has evolved them on its own path since. Two differences matter for discovery. First, the scope stayed broad: Rule 30.02 requires disclosure of every document “relating to any matter in issue” — the wider net Ontario later narrowed. Second, the clock is fast: the affidavit of documents in Form 30A or 30B is due within ten days after the close of pleadings, automatically, with electronic data expressly included in the definition of “document.”
There is no Ontario-style mandatory discovery plan on the Island, but proportionality in discovery is codified in Rule 29.2 — including whether an order would produce an excessive volume of documents. Broad scope plus a short deadline plus a proportionality lever is exactly the combination early planning was invented for.

What we do
One stage, several,

From litigation hold to trial, we run the evidence side of disputes for teams on Prince Edward Island. One stage, several, or end to end — the strategy stays yours, and the work comes back in a state opposing counsel cannot pick apart.
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.
Every service is à la carte — the whole menu lives on our services page. We also host Nuix Discover on Canadian infrastructure, put Claira’s AI-assisted review inside it, and take on migrations from platforms being retired out from under their owners.
Managed review
Document review support on Prince Edward Island.
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.
How is PEI discovery different from Ontario’s?
Same family, three differences: the scope is broader (documents “relating to” any matter in issue), the affidavit of documents is due just ten days after pleadings close, and there is no mandatory discovery plan — though Rule 29.2 proportionality still applies. The practical answer to all three is starting the evidence work early.
