Starting September 1, 2021, video conferencing will be available for Provincial Offences Court proceedings in Mississauga, via Zoom. The Ontario Court of Justice introduced measures that restricts in-person public access to court proceedings. These measures were put in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some court proceedings have already shifted to other remote options such as telephone conferencing.
A mailed letter about video conference hearing dates will be sent to those who received a summons or had their previous cases adjourned.
If you’re expecting a court date, please ensure that the Court Administration Office has up-to-date information, including current email and home address. To contact the Court Administration Office, send an email to court.admin@mississauga.ca.
These measures will remain in place until further notice.
As per the Courts of Justice Act, recording of court matters by video or audio is strictly prohibited without pre-authorization. In addition, protocol regarding the use of electronic communication devices in court proceedings remains in effect.
