On June 20, CBABC delivered a letter to the Ministry of Attorney General regarding digital infrastructure challenges in B.C. courthouses.
Ongoing WiFi connectivity problems in courthouses disrupt legal proceedings, delay access to documents, and increase cost and stress for lawyers and clients. Despite recent upgrades, unreliable service remains a barrier.
We call for the government to prioritize consistent, reliable and secure WiFi in court despite current funding pressures. CBABC has long advocated for court modernization and improved digital services, as seen in our Agenda for Justice 2021 and 2025.
This advocacy is led by our Court Services and Access to Justice Committees, and involved engagement with the wider CBABC membership.
