There have been a number of paperless trials and motions on the Commercial List. The Advocates’ Society has published a helpful Paperless Trial Manual for detailing the technology and staffing requirements and the courtroom logistics for electronic trials involving small, medium and large amounts of documents.

Parties in an electronic trial often agree to an electronic trial protocol at the outset of the action or application. A sample electronic trial protocol is available here.

The Joint E-Hearings Task Force of The Advocates’ Society, the Ontario Bar Association, the Federation of Ontario Law Associations, and the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association has published a guide on Best Practices for Remote Hearings to provide direction to anyone who is preparing for and participating in a remote hearing.

In addition, you can also apply for access to the Court’s WiFi by filling out this form. This is a much faster connection than the free WiFi provided and lasts six months at which point you can apply again.

Duty Counsel are available (with the self-represented party’s consent) to:

• meet with a self-represented party on the day of a Chambers Appointment to briefly explain the nature of the matters that may be addressed at the Appointment;
• attend the Chambers Appointment and work with the self-represented party to communicate their positions to the Judge and other lawyers, including by making submissions on their behalf; and
• facilitate negotiations between the self-represented party with other represented parties on matters at issue that may take place at the courthouse before, during or after the Chambers Appointment.
