Law360 Canada (June 16, 2020, 9:52 AM EDT) -- The Court of Queen’s Bench has issued new instructions on booking review and assessment hearings in Edmonton and Calgary.

According to the court’s press release, the Edmonton Review Office is now booking appointments for the hearings by telephone. Where possible, priority for telephone hearings will be given to reviews and assessments that were adjourned pursuant to the court’s COVID-19 master orders. Requests for available dates and times should be e-mailed to the review office at ReviewOffice.Edmonton@albertacourts.ca.

The arrangements for booking Calgary reviews and assessments are the same as those for Edmonton, with some exceptions. More information on the Edmonton and Calgary procedures can be found here.
