Coverage
Available courts, legislation sources, and gaps to keep in mind.
Cases
Crito includes decisions from these courts. Inclusion of a court does not mean that every decision or every year is available.
| Jurisdiction | Courts |
|---|---|
| Canada | Supreme Court of Canada, including leave applications |
| Federal | Federal Court of Appeal, Federal Court, and Tax Court of Canada |
| Ontario | Court of Appeal, Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, Ontario Court of Justice, and Small Claims Court |
| British Columbia | Court of Appeal, Supreme Court, and Provincial Court |
| Alberta | Court of Appeal, Court of King's Bench, and Court of Justice |

| New Brunswick | Court of Appeal, Court of King's Bench, and Small Claims Court |

Exact date ranges and update schedules are not yet listed. A search with no results does not prove that a case does not exist.
Legislation
Crito finds and reads statutes and regulations from six official sources.
| Jurisdiction | Source |
|---|---|
| Federal | Justice Laws Website |
| Ontario | Ontario e-Laws |
| British Columbia | BC Laws |
| Alberta | Alberta King’s Printer |
| Manitoba | Manitoba Laws |
| New Brunswick | New Brunswick Acts and Regulations |
Other jurisdictions are not supported for legislation. Alberta files can lag recent amendments; Crito shows each file’s "current as of" date. Crito does not provide a date filter for historical versions, and it does not return repealed British Columbia legislation.
Limits of a result
Searches return a limited set of matches. They are not a complete list of all relevant decisions. Case searches by topic give weight to both relevance and recency, so older decisions can rank lower.
Some stored decisions have missing text or no printed paragraph numbers. Long documents can arrive in parts. See Troubleshooting if a result is missing or incomplete.
