Security Screening of Court Visitors and their Belongings

The Courts Administration Service (CAS) conducts security screening of court visitors and their belongings, and is putting in place additional equipment in its locations across the country to ensure the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada remains a secure environment for members of the Court, parties, witnesses, members of the legal profession, employees and the public in attendance.

All visitors to the Court, including lawyers, parties, witnesses, media and observers attending proceedings, will be subject to the security screening process and will need to consent to screening to have access to the Court.

CAS will make every effort to ensure an efficient screening process. Parties, witnesses and lawyers are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of the proceeding. Information about the screening process and a list of prohibited items will be available on the Court and CAS websites.
