The COVID pandemic is making it difficult for a lawyer to meet with a client, who is charged in connection with a fatal car collision last year. The lawyer told a judge Thursday in Lethbridge provincial court, the pandemic has prevented him from visiting Wesley Brian Phillips at the Calgary Correctional Centre. That has made it difficult to review disclosure about the case with his client. During a hearing Oct. 15 the accused’s lawyer was granted an adjournment to give him time to review disclosure. When the matter returned to court Nov. 19, defence requested more time to review disclosure and it was adjourned to Thursday’s hearing. The case has been adjourned again and returns to court early in the new year.
