As of Jan. 1, Ontario’s Canada's Rules of Civil Procedure permit the use of “electronic document exchange” or EDX services. The idea is quite simple. Law firms join a cloud-based service that acts as a conduit. A lawyer uploads a document to the service and directs it to the intended recipient. The document is then electronically served with the click of a mouse.

If the private process serving profession hopes to be a part of the solution to these and other problems they need to EMBRACE CHANGE rather than resist it.
