Court forms

May 5, 2026

As of May 5, 2026, the Provincial Court of British Columbia updated their Access Policy – Public and Media access to Court Proceedings and Records Policy to include the process for requesting a judge's permission for remote hearings other than remote bail and sentencing hearing. Members of the public must obtain a judge’s permission in advance to listen remotely to in-person, remote or hybrid court proceedings. The process for requesting permission is set out in the Access Policy – Public and Media access to Court Proceedings and Records Policy, and requires submitting a completed Request to Listen to Hearing Remotely form.

Members of the public and non‑accredited media must apply in advance, even for in‑person hearings, to request permission to listen remotely (usually by telephone or MS Teams audioconference). Requests should be emailed to the applicable court registry as far in advance of the hearing as possible; late requests may not be considered or processed in time. Accredited media may listen remotely to in‑person, remote, or hybrid proceedings that are open to the public, and should contact the applicable court registry in advance for access details.

As of March 1, 2021, the Supreme Court of British Columbia rescinded Administrative Notice Number 1 and requested that Court Services Branch registry staff review some Supreme Court forms before they are accepted at the registry.
