Manitoba Court Scheduling Amidst COVID-19

In response to COVID-19, Manitoba courts have enacted temporary measures in efforts to comply with physical distancing and limit the spread of the virus. These temporary measures include the suspension or cancellation of hearings, the use of videoconferencing and teleconferencing to aid in the hearing process, and other adjustments to operations.

This article provides a breakdown of the temporary measures as they relate to the Manitoba Queen's Bench and the Manitoba Court of Appeal. Changes relating to the Provincial Court, the Family Division of the Court of Queen's Bench, and criminal matters under the General Division of the Court of Queen's Bench are not addressed in this article, but the notices relating to these changes are located on the Manitoba Courts website.
