Message re COVID-19

The Ontario Court of Justice is committed to ensuring that it remains available to address urgent criminal and family justice matters despite the challenges presented by COVID-19 (coronavirus).

The safety and well-being of the public and all court participants – including the judiciary, court staff, litigants and witnesses – remain a top priority.

That means that, while the most urgent matters will be dealt with, we are working with the Ministry of the Attorney General, which is responsible for courts administration, and our other justice system partners to take all steps possible to ensure these critical operations are being undertaken in a manner consistent with public health advice and guidelines and in the safest manner possible for all justice sector participants.
