We offer remote reporting so that all parties can participate in the proceeding from the comfort of their own home or office. The video and audio quality is excellent, and it is easy to use. Each virtual attendee will be sent a link that they simply click on to join the virtual meeting. If a participant requires assistance with this process, our IT person is happy to schedule a virtual meeting ahead of time to work through any issues. Please call or e-mail our office for more information about this very popular service.

For many proceedings, the reporter can provide an unedited, uncertified transcript. Please let the reporter know at the beginning of the proceeding if you will require this service.

• Request, Objection, and Exhibit pages included in every transcript
• Key word indexes included in every transcript
• E-Transcript, ASCII (text), and/or pdf files emailed at your request
• Condensed versions of your transcript, free of charge
• Proceedings via Video Link (Charges Apply) or telephone, if required
• Photocopying, fax, and e-mail requirements

Conveniently located across from the Supreme Court of British Columbia, our eleven large boardrooms will comfortably accommodate up to eight people. Larger groups can be accommodated with advance notice. Boardroom bookings include:

• Fresh coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks and Purified Water
• Various pastries, homemade cookies, and fresh fruit

Coast Reporting values your safety and the safety of our team. Please read carefully our new procedures:

1. Give us an accurate count ahead of time of how many people you expect to attend the proceeding so we can put you in a boardroom that allows social distancing. All of our boardrooms have plexiglass screens for additional protection.
2. We do not have a waiting area for friends and family of the witness. For social distancing reasons, we must leave that area clear for people coming in and out of the office.
3. Upon arrival, your clients and yourself will be directed immediately to your boardroom. You will also be asked to fill out a short COVID questionnaire.
4. If you are examining multiple witnesses, please stagger their arrival times to correspond with when you are expecting to discover them. Again, there is no longer a waiting area for them to wait in.
5. Whenever possible, do not prep your client in our office. If you are using the assigned boardroom to prep, that means the other side must wait in the hallway or entryway making it unsafe for other people to get around them.
6. We will provide hand sanitizer at the entrance of our office (and in all boardrooms) and ask that all people entering our office sanitize their hands.
7. If you or your client have any symptoms of a cold or flu, or have been in contact with anyone who is sick, or have travelled out of the country within the last two weeks, please either rebook your discovery, or do it remotely via Zoom.
8. Our reporters and staff will be wearing masks for your safety.
9. We will have limited coffee and tea service, and will provide sanitizing wipes so people can wipe down coffee urn handles before and after use. For safety reasons, there will be no open food such as cookies, pastries, fruit, etc.
10. The boardrooms will be fully sanitized after every use.
11. We will be taking fewer jobs in our office. If you cannot get a booking in our office, we may still be able to offer you a remote discovery.

Thank you so much for your adherence to the safety procedures recommended by WorkSafe and by Dr. Henry.

The Team at Coast Reporting.
