Biographical history
[Archivist’s Note: The date of the establishment of the County Court registry at Fernie has not yet been confirmed by BC Archives staff (as of March 2016). However, it is known that it was established at least as early as March 1905. See: Order-in-Council 0123-1905, dated 1905 March 7 and British Columbia Gazette 1905, p. 429. By OIC # 0123-1905, the current Registrar of the County Court was appointed as District Registrar of the newly-created Supreme Court registry.
All County Courts were merged into the Supreme Court on July 1, 1990.
