The applicant brought a motion requesting an in-person hearing instead of a virtual hearing, citing his and his witnesses' lack of technological proficiency and anxiety regarding virtual platforms.
The Board dismissed the motion, noting that the applicant and witnesses could attend their counsel's office to testify with assistance.
The Board emphasized that the matter had already been delayed for almost two years and that electronic hearings are permitted under the Hearings in Tribunal Proceedings (Temporary Measures) Act 2020.
