BCSC Court Record AccessSection 2 - Access to Civil Proceeding Court Files and Documents
This section discusses some of the main types of material or information in the court record as it relates to civil proceedings, and some of the main factors that affect public access to the court record in civil proceedings.
Affidavits
Affidavits and attached exhibits in civil proceedings become part of the court record when filed. The public may access an affidavit and an exhibit which is attached to an affidavit where that affidavit is filed with the court unless a statutory provision, common law rule or court order restricts or limits access.
Closed Courtroom Proceedings
If the public is excluded from a court proceeding pursuant to a legislative provision, common law rule or court order, there is no public access to the court record (or to that portion of the court record which is related to the publicly excluded proceedings) unless the court makes an order allowing access.
Copies
If the public is entitled to access to the court record or some portion of the court record in respect of a civil proceeding without first obtaining a court order, they may obtain a copy of the court record or portion if:
• the document can be copied; and
• the relevant fee is paid.
Where an order is required for access to the court record or some portion of it, copies will only be provided if the order which authorizes access also authorizes the registry to provide a copy of the court record or portion of the court record.
Exhibits
See Section 4 - Access to Court Exhibits
Hearing Lists
Before Hearings
The hearing list provides the name of the parties, the courtroom, the date of the hearing and the time for the hearing. Hearing lists are posted on the court’s website by 8:30 a.m. on the day of the hearing and also posted in the courthouse

Put the last line in bold plus the web site: conclusion this hearing date for next Dec/12??? not sure how this can be according to the whole process of access...stands to reason that hearing dates are only released the day of a hearing (if things don't settle before) especially for publicly traded companies
