The Supreme Court of BC (SCBC) recently started scheduling COVID-19 pre-trial conferences (PTCs).
As set out in the SCBC’s May 4, 2020, notice (updated June 30, 2020), PTCs are being held by telephone for criminal cases where the trial was unable to proceed because of the suspension of the court’s normal operations, or is at risk of being adjourned because of indirect effects of the suspension. LABC is currently developing a tariff item that will enable you to bill for PTC preparation and attendance. More information about the new tariff item will be provided soon.
