As a result of health concerns arising from the COVID-19
pandemic, the Alberta Courts closed on March 23, 2020 to the
public and shortly thereafter to lawyers for all but emergency
hearings. This situation will remain in place until further notice.
We understand that this abrupt development is disconcerting for
anyone involved in a legal dispute but it does not mean that your
dispute must remain idle. Alternative forms of dispute resolution
are available and even encouraged by all of Alberta's
Courts.
At McLennan Ross, we are equipped to provide these alternative
dispute resolution resources to you and can deliver assistance
through the Courts' recognized WebEx video conferencing
platform, whether it is for arbitration or mediation.
