The registrar of the High Court has announced the closure of the court to allow for
the courtrooms to be treated for allergens.
Registrar Cecile Hill said the return of some pandemic-related arrangements such
as all filings, service, and disposition of matters, not presently on the E Litigation
Portal should be done using the email address: emergency.filings@ab.gov.ag as
was practiced throughout the closure of the High Court during the pandemic.
“Attorneys are kindly asked to refer to the Practice Direction No.2 of 20 COVID-
19 Emergency Measures (re-issued) for guidance, including the requirements for
undertakings with respect to the payment of the filing of fees on the re-opening of
the court on January 3, 2022,” a statement from the Registrar’s desk noted.
The release indicated that injunctions and other urgent matters filed manually
through the Emergency Filings’ email must be copied to the court administrator,
Tammie Gage, the Registrar, and the Deputy Registrar.
According to the release, all matters in the Criminal Division will be postponed
until Monday, June 5, while the Civil Division and the Family Division will
continue to be heard remotely unless otherwise stated.
