How are British Columbia matter plans structured?
Each plan is divided into stages covering the full matter lifecycle - from initial instructions and fact-gathering through preparation, filing, and finalisation. Individual tasks include estimated time units, role assignments, and key date fields.
When a practice-management system opens a matter at this level, these are the canonical fields it receives - resolved through the field-set hierarchy (base → area of law → geography → plan). Fields added at this levelare shown below, with inherited tiers beneath; each set's page has the full resolved table. How this works.
