New Jury Trials on Hold in Hamilton and Newmarket

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice previously advised that jury selection and new jury trials in Newmarket would resume on November 16, 2020. However, that has changed due to the deterioration of the public health situation.

In an updated Notice, the Court has advised that jury selection and new jury trials will not proceed in Newmarket until at least November 30, 2020.

Further, jury selection and new jury trials in Hamilton are also suspended until at least November 30, 2020.

The Court’s announcement comes as the Province of Ontario has placed York Region and Hamilton in the COVID-19 red level.
