Virtual Criminal Case Management/Automatic Adjournment
As of today Monday August 24, 2020, the Provincial Government is implementing the new video set-date process. Virtual criminal case management courts start today in Cayuga, Goderich, Guelph, Orangeville, L’Orignal, Pembroke, Saint Thomas, Simcoe, Stratford, Windsor, Woodstock. As of next Monday August 31, 2020 this process will commence in Oshawa, Thunder Bay, Timmins and Toronto East (Scarborough) Courthouses.
It is anticipated that this Virtual Case Management will be extended to other locations in September 2020. However at this time it is not known which Courthouses will be added and when. For the time being, in Courthouses that have not implemented this system, automatic adjournments will continue until the local set-date virtual court commences.
