History
The Registrar's Office of the High Court of Justice was established in 1896 during a re- organization of the administrative offices of the High Court.
The new Registrar's Office consisted primarily of the Senior Registrar (formerly the Registrar of the Chancery Division) and the Junior Registrar (formerly the Registrar of the Queen's Bench Division).
In 1923, the Registrar's Office (by then known as the Registrar's Office of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court) was merged with the Registrar's Office of the Appellate Division to form the Registrar's Office of the Supreme Court.
