Due to the ongoing pandemic and in line with public health directives, \n further suspensions and modifications will take effect on Monday, June 14, 2021 and \n remain in place until Friday, June 25, 2021 or until a further Notice is issued. \n We continue to see instability in the number of COVID cases confirmed in the Province \n of Manitoba and particularly in the Winnipeg Region. Several communities have \n continued the suspension of in-school classes. There are northern communities which \n are still under lock down orders. Given this, we are extending the current order to and \n including June 25, 2021. By then, more vaccines will have been administered and more \n communities will hopefully be in the process of re-opening. These current measures \n again focus on restricting the need for persons to attend in person at any \n Provincial Court in Manitoba. \n Circuit Courts \n All circuit court sittings are suspended. Virtual dockets will be held for these sittings in \n the appropriate court centre, with all parties appearing remotely. Those court sittings \n which were “trial only” days will be administratively adjourned. Please contact the \n appropriate trial coordinator to determine the adjournment date. \n In Custody Trials \n All in-custody trials and preliminary inquiries scheduled in a court centre (Winnipeg, \n Brandon, Portage la Prairie, The Pas, Dauphin, Thompson) will proceed. \n For Winnipeg trials and preliminary inquiries, counsel are reminded to email the Virtual \n Assignment Court (VirtualTrialAssignCourt@gov.mb.ca) as soon as possible to let the \n presiding Judge know whether the matter is proceeding so it can be assigned to a trial \n courtroom. This helps promote physical distancing. This email box is monitored \n starting at 9:15 a.m. every day. We remind counsel (and your witnesses) not to gather \n outside Courtroom 302 while awaiting assignment of a courtroom for your trial. \n For all other court centres, we remind counsel and witnesses who are attending to \n adhere strictly to the COVID protocols and to maintain social distancing at all times.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.238131,"width":0.765027,"height":0.63698}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
