If you’ve received a provincial offence fine, you have the option to attend your trial, early resolution or summons date online.
When attending a court appearance virtually, you must connect by video. If you can’t be on camera, attend in person at the address and courtroom on your notice of trial, early resolution or summons.
When you’re attending virtual court proceedings, you must conduct yourself as if you are physically in the courtroom. The same expectations and requirements for conduct and respectful behaviour apply.
Before you attend court remotely, review the code of conduct. Also read the Ontario Court of Justice’s guide for defendants to make sure you’re prepared for your trial.
If you are representing yourself in court, refer to the Ontario Court of Justice’s guide for self-represented parties.
