Chief Judge Gillespie has issued updates effective December 20, 2024 to the CRIM 04 and FAM 03 practice directions and has issued a new SM CL 05 practice direction. These practice directions address scheduling continuations of trials or hearings that have not finished in the time provided as soon as possible and without undue delay, and for criminal matters the goal is to schedule the continuation so the matter concludes within the timeframe set out by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Jordan, 2016 SCC 27.
See the Provincial Court page for a full list of revised practice directions and notices: Provincial Court of BC.
