What Is a Bailiff Report?

A bailiff report, known in Québec as a constat d’huissier, is a formal written document prepared by a bailiff recording observed facts, objectively, neutrally and in detail. What distinguishes it from a personal account or a set of photographs is the narrator: a bailiff whose role is to record what is observed, without interpretation, bias or advocacy. In Quebec, a bailiff report is admissible as evidence before the courts and is widely recognized by insurers, courts, and legal professionals as a credible and reliable form of proof.
