The following notice was updated today by the Superior Court of Justice:
Consolidated Notice to the Profession and Public Regarding the Small Claims Court
March 16, 2020
Notice of amendments:
- Effective November 30, 2020:
- The Court is expanding the range of matters it will hear remotely. In addition to the requests it was accepting before, it will now accept requests for:
- Motions in writing that are without notice to any other party, whether the motion is new or previously filed; and
- Settlement conferences, if all defendants had filed a defence or been noted in default prior to August 31, 2020. A settlement conference does not need to have been previously scheduled.
- The Court is using different request forms for motions in writing and requests to clerk. (Previously, the same form was used for both documents.)
