The appellants appealed the refusal of a development permit application by the Niagara Escarpment Commission.
At the commencement of the hearing, the appellants requested that the hearing be held in two phases.
The Hearing Officer denied the request, finding that a single hearing would be the most cost-effective and efficient manner to adjudicate the appeal.
On the request of the parties, the hearing was adjourned to allow sufficient time to prepare for a single hearing.
The Tribunal issued an amended procedural order and scheduled dates for the hearing and a motion to dismiss.
