Tips for appearing in court remotely

If you have to appear in court remotely, you will need to know about the process for remote court appearances. This information should have been included with the documents your received after you were charged. If it was not, you can visit the Ontario Court of Justice website for details: www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/

For technical information about participating in a Zoom hearing, please see the ZOOM User Guide for Remote Hearings in the Ontario Court of Justice.
