Tribunal admits Town's new witness statements and refuses to stay site plan appeal for cemetery.
The Tribunal held a Case Management Conference to address preliminary issues in an appeal concerning a site plan application for a proposed cemetery.
The primary issue was the admissibility of two new witness statements filed by the Town, which the applicant argued were improper and raised new issues.
The Tribunal ruled that the witness statements were relevant to the site plan appeal and permissible.
The Tribunal also declined to stay the proceedings pending a related judicial review application, finding no exceptional circumstances, and scheduled a four-day merit hearing.
