Coverage when
your docket isn’t yours.
Booked in two places at once. Stuck in trial across town. Need a TBST handled tomorrow morning. POA Court Agent is the marketplace where Ontario lawyers and paralegals find verified agents to step in — with payment held in escrow until the disposition is in.
How it works
- 01 Post or request. Agent says "I’m in court X on date Y", or counsel says "I need a TBST covered."
- 02 Agree on price. Either side names the number; the other accepts or counters.
- 03 Funds held. Card on file is charged on acceptance and held until disposition.
- 04 Court date. Documents unlock for the assigned agent. Calendar shows agent, court, courtroom, time only — never the client.
- 05 Disposition. Agent uploads the outcome; 90% releases to them, 10% platform fee.
Privilege isn’t an afterthought.
The public calendar shows the agent, the court, the courtroom, and the time. Nothing else. Client names live in a privileged field that only you and the agent you accept can see — and only after payment is held. Documents you upload don’t even exist on the public web; they’re served through a permission-checked Django view, not nginx.
Enforced where it matters
- · Calendar JSON feed strips client info before it leaves the server
- · nginx blocks
/media/case_docs/at the edge - · Documents 403 unless agent & payment captured
How escrow works here
- · Card-on-file held the second an offer accepts
- · Funds release on disposition confirm or 12h auto
- · Cancel any time before court — full refund
No more chasing invoices after court.
We charge the requester’s card the moment the offer accepts. The money sits with the platform — not in agent limbo — until disposition is uploaded and confirmed. The agent gets 90%; we keep 10% for keeping the rails clean. Cancellations refund 100% to the card on file.
Verified, not crowdsourced.
Every agent in the directory has had their LSO licence number checked against the Law Society directory before they go live. The badge is gold for a reason — it means a human looked at the licence, not an algorithm. The number stays public on each profile so you can verify it yourself.
