To address the large backlog of cases in the Ontario Court of Justice case management courts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court is establishing a new case management court – the Judge-led Intensive Case Management Court (JICMC) – in every base court location across the province. The JICMCs will supplement and assist the permanent (“regular”) case management courts already operating at each court location.
The JICMCs will supplement and assist the permanent (“regular”) case management courts already operating at each court location. Cases will be referred into the JICMC based on case age, with priority being given to older cases. For more details, please see COVID-19 Judge-led Intensive Case Management Courts
