The plaintiffs moved to enforce a settlement agreement that capped their damages in exchange for the defendants admitting liability and agreeing to a 10-day trial.
The defendants' new counsel argued the trial would take longer than 10 days and sought to avoid the time limit.
Applying the Supreme Court's access to justice principles from Hryniak, the court held the parties to their bargain.
The court ordered strict case management to ensure the trial would be completed within the agreed 10-day timeframe, emphasizing the need for proportionate and efficient procedures.
