Form F33: Consent Order

When a BC Supreme Court family order is recorded in Form F33 because it is made by consent and fits the order categories in Rule 15-1.

Use the current form: F33 records an order the parties consent to; the form itself is not a private agreement and does not bypass the court’s role where approval is required.

When Rule 15-1 uses F33

Rule 15-1 uses Form F33 for a final order that changes, suspends or terminates a final order and is made by consent, and for a non-final order made without a hearing and by consent.

How the consent application gets before the court

The application route is commonly Rule 10-7, which uses Form F29 and the documents required by that rule. F29 asks for the order; F33 is the form of the consent order itself.

Why wording matters

An entered court order can be enforced and can affect future applications. The draft should clearly state exactly what existing terms are changed and what new obligations or rights are created.

Not every agreed outcome uses F33

Rule 15-1 contains other specialized order forms, including F51, F52, F34 and protection-order forms. Use the form specified for the kind of order being made.
