We are publishing for comment proposed BC Policy 15-602 - Electronic hearings. The proposed policy accompanies this notice.
Our proposed policy replaces our policy on electronic documents, announced in BC Notice 2005-23.
While the BC courts use electronic records in criminal and civil matters, they do so on a voluntary basis. Under our policy, we aim to use electronic records in all hearings. This will help us run our hearings more efficiently. We will apply the policy to hearings set down after August 1, 2005.
Commission staff will deliver disclosure to parties in electronic form. The annex to this notice sets out some technical details related to disclosure.
Please send us your comments by June 30, 2005. You may send them
