Tribunal permits respondents to use court reporter but requires them to provide transcripts at their expense.
The respondents requested permission to use a court reporter to record the upcoming hearing and sought a waiver of the requirement to provide transcripts to the other parties and the Tribunal due to cost.
The Tribunal allowed the use of a court reporter but denied the waiver, ordering the respondents to provide transcripts at their own expense prior to final argument to ensure all parties have access to the most accurate record.
The Tribunal also noted the respondents' lack of objection to one expert witness and deferred a decision on their objection to another expert witness until the hearing.
