Criminal Lawyers Association Update April 3, 2020

3 Apr 2020 9:30 AM | York Region Law Association (Administrator)

Here is my Newmarket OCJ update for April 3, 2020.

Courthouse Closure

The Newmarket Courthouse is closed today.  I have included the call in numbers and court closure notice below.

The Newmarket Courthouse has been closed today to address cleaning and air quality concerns. The courthouse will remain closed until an enhanced cleaning can be completed. 

On April 2nd, 2020, the ministry was advised that an individual, who works in the courthouse and last worked on March 31, 2020, began to feel ill at work.  The individual has not returned since and was advised by Public Health to self-isolate.

Although the Newmarket courthouse receives enhanced cleaning on a regular basis, the courthouse is closed to permit a thorough cleaning to be completed. The courthouse will remain closed until confirmation of both appropriate cleaning and air quality is provided. The Ministry is being asked to assist in this verification. 

Signs are posted on the building with alternative court locations and contact email information.  Court services available by email.  

As usual, and particularly today, patience from all is requested.  There were incredible and  significant efforts employed overnight to shift facilities and resources to permit a functioning and available court process for today. 

Bail Vettor

The bail vettor continues to be Jeffrey Costain.  He can be reached by emial at:  jeffrey.costain1@ontario.ca.

Resolution Crown

The resolution crown this morning and likely to continue next week is LeeAnne McCallum.  She can be reached at: LeeAnne.mccallum@ontario.ca.

Newmarket Call In Numbers/Codes were emailed to all criminal lawyers. They can also be viewed on the Members Only page of this website.
