“Throughout the Province, the Court remains open to hearing in custody matters, including trials and preliminary inquiries in the Court Centres, and in the opened circuit locations set out below. In custody trials from circuit locations not yet opened, can be transferred to the related open Court Centre where possible. Adult and youth in-custody bail and disposition courts will continue to sit, with accused persons appearing by telephone or videoconference, if available.”
See the full notice for information on each region and more details.
“… given current public health advisories, counsel will be permitted to file documents by email for criminal matters in Winnipeg Centre, effective immediately.”

Interested in what were the most viewed decisions of the past year? Take a look at the most searched for, and most accessed, cases on CanLII with their Top Ten Accessed Cases on CanLII from 2020.
More Manitoba content has been added to CanLII with the Manitoba Annual Statutes. Statutes from 1988 to present are now part of the CanLII database which means you can now use these with CanLII’s features such as creating alerts, finding citing cases, and saving documents to Lexbox, Lexum’s “Online legal research workspace”.
Manitoba content on CanLII now includes decisions from Manitoba Reports, Manitoba Reports (2nd) series and the Revised Manitoba Statutes from 1987.
“Commencing Monday, February 1, 2021, all judge-alone out-of-custody criminal trials will also resume in person.”
Health and safety protocols of the March 13, 2020 notice are still in effect. Portions of the trial may proceed by video conference. To further reduce in-person contact, an upcoming notice will detail email filing requirements and procedures.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
