eDiscovery
in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan wrote eDiscovery into its rules: Rule 5-7 hands electronic disclosure to the court’s E-Discovery Guidelines, Sedona Canada included. We run discovery the way that directive expects.

A province that took
ESI seriously.
Saskatchewan quietly has one of the clearer eDiscovery frameworks in the country: the King’s Bench Rules devote a rule to electronic documents and delegate the detail to a standing court directive that incorporates the Sedona Canada Principles — including the express permission to use electronic tools and processes, assisted review among them, to satisfy discovery obligations.
That framework is a natural fit for how we already work: cooperative discovery plans, defensible preservation from the moment litigation is anticipated, processing that culls before lawyers read, and AI-assisted first passes with the reasoning on display. noticia supports Saskatchewan firms and in-house teams remotely, with no minimum volumes and data hosted in Canada.
The local rules
Discovery under the
King’s Bench Rules.
In the Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan, each party serves an affidavit of documents in Form 5-6 disclosing all documents relevant to any matter in issue — the plaintiff within 30 days after the last statement of defence, the defendant within 30 days after receiving the plaintiff’s, with supplementary affidavits as new documents surface. “Document” reaches any information recorded or stored by means of any device, machine-readable information included.
Rule 5-7 then does something few provinces do: it provides that the court’s Practice Directive on E-Discovery governs the disclosure, discovery and inspection of electronic documents. That directive — the E-Discovery Guidelines, revised in 2023 — points parties to the Sedona Canada Principles, Third Edition, expects preservation once litigation is reasonably anticipated, encourages a cooperative joint discovery plan, and expressly permits electronic tools and processes, with assisted review and active learning named in the commentary.
Proportionality has teeth here too: the court can modify or waive Part 5 obligations where compliance would be grossly disproportionate to the likely benefit. A well-scoped plan, agreed early, is how you earn that argument.

What we do
The hard parts,
handled.
We support law firms, in-house counsel and public bodies in Saskatchewan 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.
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 in Saskatchewan.
Review is where eDiscovery budgets go to die, so it is where we put the most structure. Documents arrive grouped with their threads, families and near-duplicates; first-pass volume goes through Claira, AI-assisted review inside Nuix Discover that shows its reasoning on every call; and bilingual reviewers make the decisions that matter.
For teams in Saskatchewan, that means review support that scales without a hiring spree — staffed quickly, QC-sampled throughout, with privilege screening, redactions and a defensibility record you can stand behind in court.
FAQ
The usual
questions.
Can we use AI-assisted review in Saskatchewan?
Saskatchewan is unusually explicit about it: the court’s E-Discovery Guidelines, which Rule 5-7 makes applicable, state that a party may use electronic tools and processes to satisfy its discovery obligations — with assisted review and active learning named in the commentary. Claira fits that framework and shows its reasoning on every document.
Where does our data live?
In Canada. Review runs on Canadian-hosted infrastructure certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and your documents stay here through processing, hosting, review and production.
What does it cost to find out?
Nothing — scoping is free, the estimate is written, and it arrives fast. There are no ingestion fees, no minimum volumes and no long-term commitment: you buy the slice you need, whether that is a licence, a stage of the work, or the whole file.
