Home Français Provincial Court
The Provincial Court of Manitoba initiated the Domestic Violence Front End Pilot Project for the Winnipeg Centre of the court under the direction of The Honourable Raymond E. Wyant, Chief Judge, on December 1, 2003. The Domestic Violence Front End Pilot Project has received national and international recognition as a creative and successful initiative making the Provincial Court system more effective and efficient in the processing of domestic violence cases. The project has been expanded to include other criminal cases that come before the Provincial Court. The changes to the front-end of the system primarily involve a well-managed and effective pre-trial coordination process.
For information on the details of this process please see the Project Protocol below.
