Small Claims Remote Hearings

In what has been an unprecedented year, thousands of court hearings have been replaced by virtual hearings, either via telephone or online.

Virtual hearings present their own, different, challenges, to in-person hearings. Some hearings take place with judges present in a court room whilst the parties and their witnesses dial in remotely; other hearings are remote for all involved. One thing is certain, we should expect to see more remote hearings for a while to come.

Is your small claims hearing going to be carried out remotely?

You may have concerns about this, and you may have questions about the hearing: how does a virtual hearing work? Do I need any particular software? What can I do to prepare?
