2020 was an unpredictable, constantly changing and challenging year for everyone, including insurers trying to navigate the court system to settle claims. Will 2021 bring more changes, a return to pre-pandemic court procedures or a mix of old and new?

To help insurers prepare for 2021, our panel of RMC lawyers from across Canada discuss the court procedures currently in place, the changes to anticipate, and the steps to take to keep files moving towards resolution.

Specific topics covered will include:

– Suspension of court deadlines & limitation periods
– Filing documents in court
– Pros and cons of video proceedings
– How Covid-19 has impacted juries & court proceedings
