Adjournment granted due to applicants' late disclosure of expert report; costs request denied.
The responding parties requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing due to the applicants' late disclosure of a 53-page expert report and additional documents.
The applicants opposed the adjournment and alternatively sought reimbursement for their expert's travel costs and fees.
The Tribunal granted the adjournment to allow the responding parties adequate time to review the late disclosure and prepare for cross-examination.
The Tribunal declined to order costs against the responding parties, noting the adjournment was necessitated by the applicants' failure to comply with disclosure rules.
The Tribunal also issued case management directions, including bifurcating the hearing to address liability before damages.
