The Courts Administration Service (CAS) was established in 2003 with the coming into force of the Courts Administration Service Act S.C. 2002, c.8 (the Act). The role of CAS is to provide effective and efficient judicial, registry and corporate services to four superior courts of record—the Federal Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada and the Tax Court of Canada. The Act enhances judicial independence by placing administrative services at arm’s length from the Government of Canada and enhances accountability for the use of public money.
