LNB news: Senior Master release update on QB Asbestos List amid coronavirus (COVID-19)

Senior Master Barbara Fontaine has sent a note to court users of the Queen’s Bench (QB) Asbestos List to make suggestions on the use of online video platforms used for remote hearings

Lexis®Library update: As the lockdown measures imposed to combat the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to prevent in-person hearings, Fontaine has proposed the use of Microsoft Teams for hearings in the Asbestos List that last an hour or more, and has requested that court users respond with their views via email by 31 March 2021.

The email address, belonging to Senior Master Fontaine’s PA Elaine Harbert, can be found here.
