 RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE

On March 23, 2022, a regulation was filed to amend the court rules and forms for civil proceedings: O. Reg. 224/22, amending the Rules of Civil Procedure. The regulation is posted on e-Law here.  


The regulation addresses the rules regarding the deadlines for parties to submit their confirmation of motion and confirmation of application forms (Forms 37B and 38B), as well as the deadline to upload materials to CaseLines.


The regulation, which amends three rules and revises two forms, will come into force on April 23, 2022.


The rule amendments:

  • require a moving party to confirm the motion 5 days before the hearing instead of 3, and permit the responding party to confirm the motion (if the moving party has not done so) 4 days before the motion instead of 2 (rule 37.10.1);
  • require an applicant to confirm the application 5 days before the hearing instead of 3 (rule 38.09.1);
  • separate the CaseLines deadline for motions and applications from the confirmation form deadlines (rule 4.05.3);
  • remove references to e-mail submission of confirmation forms being possible only if available in the court office, since e-mail is available in every civil court office (rules 37.10.1 and 38.09.1); and
  • prescribe revised versions of the Form 37B Confirmation of Motion and Form 38B Confirmation of Application, to 
    • emphasize the duty to update the court if circumstances change after confirmation,
    • add  reference to the abandonment procedure, and
    • require a list of materials for applications (as is already required for motions).


The revised Forms 37B and 38B are available on the Ontario Court Forms Website.  


A summary of the regulation is available on Ontario’s Regulatory Registry  here. 

BEST PRACTICES FOR REMOTE HEARINGS, DISCOVERIES & MEDIATION

In April 2020, FOLA, along with the Advocates’ Society, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, created the joint E-Hearings Task Force to review technologies that can help ensure Ontario’s justice system continue to function during and following the coronavirus pandemic. 


On May 13, 2020, the e-Hearings Taskforce released some helpful documents (linked below) on best practices to help provide guidance to anyone who is considering preparing for and participating in a remote hearing.  A 2nd Version of the English version of the Best Practices for Remote Hearings was released on May 28th, 2021.

VIRTUAL TRIAL SITTINGS FOR CIVIL, NON-JURY CASES: 

December 14, 2022: The SCJ Regional Senior Judges Council (“RSJ Council”) is commencing an initiative to address the backlog of civil trials that developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to provide timely access to justice in civil cases, RSJ Council has resolved to schedule two, four-week long virtual trial sittings for civil, non-jury cases. Judicial resources from across the province will be pooled to provide pre-trial and trial dates.


The first sitting will target cases in Southwest Region. Cases will be selected based on age and likelihood of being scheduled for trial within a reasonable amount of time. During the second sitting, cases from all regions will be considered for inclusion based on the same criteria.

Key points:

• Two, four-week long trial sittings will be held on the following dates:

November 14, 2023 to December 8, 2023

April 1, 2024 to April 26, 2024

• Civil, non-jury trials will be scheduled

• Both pre-trial conferences and trials will be held virtually

• Use of CaseLines will be mandatory

In the coming weeks, parties will begin receiving pre-trial and trial dates. In cases selected, counsel and witnesses must make themselves available.


On August 31, 2022, the Chief Medical Officer of Health Ontario provided updated recommendations relating to the upcoming respiratory season, including COVID.  Accordingly, Chief Justice Morawetz’s Order, deferring potential jurors who are not vaccinated (or prefer not to answer), which expires today, September 2, 2022, will not be further extended.

  

On August 2nd, the SCJ announced that the Notice to the Profession, Parties, Public and the Media has been amended to clarify parties’ responsibilities in civil and family matters regarding (1) filing books of authorities and facta, (2) providing accurate hearing-time estimates, and (3) bringing to the attention of the court all relevant material facts and the authorities that establish the legal proposition relied upon (as it is not sufficient to merely upload filed materials to CaseLines). See Part II, paras. 1-4 and Part III, paras. 16-18.

Chief Justice Morawetz issued an Order on April 27, 2022 extending his August Addendum Order deferring jurors, based on an answer that a juror is not fully vaccinated or prefers not to answer, further from April 29, 2022 to June 10, 2022.


Notice to Profession – Divisional Court (April 19 2022)

STRATEGIC PLAN - 2020-2025

STRATEGIC PLAN - 2020-2025

STRATEGIC PLAN - 2020-2025

In July 2020, in the midst of COVID-19, the Federal Court released their Strategic Plan for 2020-2025.

  

The 2020-2025 Strategic Plan addresses the steps that the Court intends to take in the pursuit of two principal objectives: (i) significantly increasing access to justice, and (ii) enhancing the ability of the Court to serve the public across Canada.


The primary focus of the first principal objective will be upon accelerating the Court’s shift away from being a paper-based organization, towards being a more accessible digital court. That shift was given added stimulus in the wake of the outbreak of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, when the Court rapidly expanded its capability to conduct virtual hearings with participants situated in their respective homes, by telephone and video conference.


As the Court continues to expand its digital capabilities, its principal areas of focus will include:

· making more broad-based use of e-filing and electronic service;

· moving toward treating electronically filed materials as the official court record;

· making more widespread use of electronic courtroom software, during in-person and “virtual” hearings;

· enhancing its internal and outward-facing electronic scheduling capabilities;

· providing the parties to disputes before the Court with an ability to electronically access non-restricted documents in the Court’s record;

· providing the public and the media with electronic access to non-confidential Court records, as well as to the non-confidential portion of electronic hearings; and

· making increased use of web-based virtual hearings and webcasting.


This strategic plan builds on the Court’s 2014-2019 Strategic Plan.


In brief, the Court and many others within its ecosystem need to expand their digital capabilities.
