The Supreme Court provides pre-trial directions to guide the collation of electronic materials (such as affidavits, witness statements and tender bundles) into an eCourtbook.

To access the information, please view e-Courtbooks for virtual hearings. When parties present evidence to the court (in the form of eCourtbooks, videos, or other documents), the materials can be shared in various ways.

In eCourts, practitioners can use the HDMI connections at the Bar table for projection of materials directly from their devices. Alternatively, the materials can be provided to the Associates in a USB or a disc for sharing from the computers on the Associate’s bench or DVD players. For both methods, content sharing is controlled using the Utelogy application on the eCourts’ Surface Pros.

In remote hearings, practitioners can share materials from their own devices using the features of WebEx and Zoom. ECourt Operators can be allocated to facilitate content sharing for both in-court and remote trials.

The Court of Appeal provides a resource on how to prepare a civil appeal book:

E-Courts are equipped with infrastructure that includes:

•    High-definition court screens
•    Surface Studios for judicial use, Surface Pros for in-court technology control using the Utelogy application, and computers on Associate’s benches
•    HDMI connections at the Bar tables and Associate’s benches Witness monitors to allow the witness to view and annotate the content being projected
•    CODEC technology that processes large amount of incoming and outgoing data stream.
