R. V. MOAZAMI - APPEAL HEARING ACCESS

JANUARY 25 TO 29, 2021

The Court of Appeal will hear Mr. Moazami’s appeals from conviction (CA43308 and CA43857) from January 25 to 29, 2021.

The appeals are scheduled to take place in courtroom 60 at the Vancouver Law Courts, beginning at 10:00 a.m. each day. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, space in courtroom 60 will be limited to hearing participants (e.g. counsel, court clerk, judges, and sheriffs).

To provide access to the appeals, the Court has arranged for closed circuit television links to an overflow space in the Robson Square Provincial Court building at 800 Hornby Street in boardroom 205. If you arrive before 8:30 a.m., you should line up outside of the Smithe Street entrance to the Robson Square Provincial Court building. After the building opens at 8:30 a.m., you may proceed to boardroom 205 and line up while maintaining appropriate distance from others. As you enter the courthouse, sheriffs will conduct a verbal COVID-19 screening process asking questions related to health and travel. The hearing will commence at 10:00 a.m.

People attending courthouses in British Columbia are required to wear a face mask or face covering, including in entrances, lobbies, waiting areas, registries, hallways, stairways, restrooms, and elevators. In addition, people are required to wear a face mask or face covering in courtrooms, including overflow spaces, unless the presiding judge, justice, master, or registrar directs otherwise. Please review the general expectations for those attending a courthouse during the pandemic.

The Court's Policy on Use of Electronic Devices in Courtrooms applies to overflow spaces and generally prohibits taking photographs (including screenshots), video images, or audio recordings of any court proceeding. Refer to the policy for details on permitted audio recording for accredited media. Penalties may include prosecution for contempt of court.

Any questions may be directed to the Superior Courts Judiciary Communications Officer at SCJCommunicationsOfficer@BCCourts.ca.
