Appendix B: Naming Conventions for Electronic Materials

1. The file names for all materials that are served and filed electronically must start with one of the character codes set out in paragraph 3 of this Appendix (e.g., FAP or ABCO), followed by the Court of Appeal file number (e.g., COA-22-CV-####, COA-22-CR-####, COA-22-OM-####, C##### or M#####), and end with the relevant file extension (e.g., docx, PDF). If there is no character code for a particular file, a party may create a code or use a longer descriptive name that readily identifies the type of file. For sealed materials, the code “SLD” should be added to the naming convention following the character code. For example:

FAP.COA-22-CR-2321.PDF

TRN.COA-22-OM-0873.PDF

MPF.M55556.docx

FRE.SLD.C55572.docx

Appellant’s Reply Factum to Interveners.C55597.PDF

2. If a document has more than one volume, the volume number should be placed immediately after the document character code and before the Court of Appeal file number. For example:

TRN.Vol1.COA-23-CR-7753.PDF

TRN.Vol2.COA-23-CR-7753.PDF

ABCO.Vol1.COA-24-CV-1928.PDF

ABCO.Vol2.COA-24-CV-1928.PDF

3. Parties must use the following character codes when naming electronic documents. If there is no character code for a particular file, a party may create a code or use a longer descriptive name that readily identifies the type of file.
