Expansion of the 12-Week Adjournment from First Appearance in Criminal Case Management Court for Counsel Matters on June 3, 2024

The 12-Week Adjournment from First Appearance in Criminal Case Management Court for Counsel Matters will be expanding to various locations in the Central East, Central West, East, Toronto and West Regions as of June 3, 2024.  This practice direction, which was first implemented in Toronto and Brampton on November 1, 2023, reduces unnecessary administrative appearances in case management courts by establishing a standard 12-week adjournment for matters in which counsel is retained at an accused person’s first or second appearance in case management court.
