Provincial Court of Nova Scotia July 2024 to December 2024 Intake Dates
We are pleased to provide an update to our October 26, 2023 notice regarding the end of the pandemic relief measures that permitted client verification by viewing government issued ID over a video call. The pandemic-era video verification method presented a high risk of identification fraud. It should have been used only when a better option was not available, and it should not be used in future.
This update deals with three matters: 1) a new deadline for the removal of pandemic measures; 2)Â a review of existing options used to verify ID, remotely and otherwise; and 3)Â technology options designed to verify ID remotely, which are helpful even in-person.
