Effective October 19th, the Ontario Court of Justice is beginning a pilot project in Toronto that allows for out of Court written consent release orders to be issued by Judicial Officers for individuals in bail Court, who are seeking a straightforward bail release on consent of the Crown’s office. This will assist the Court in making the best use of Court time and videoconferencing resources. For the initial phase of this pilot, only duty counsel matters qualify.
