At a Case Management Conference for an expropriation compensation claim, the Tribunal determined that the scheduled 10-day hearing could not proceed due to incomplete discoveries, outstanding undertakings, and the claimants' intention to amend their pleadings.

The Tribunal adjourned the hearing, scheduled a further Case Management Conference to set new dates, and ordered the claimants to identify any additional expert witnesses.

The respondent's request for interim costs thrown away was dismissed, with costs reserved to the final hearing.

At a Case Management Conference regarding a land compensation claim under the Expropriations Act, the Tribunal was advised that the claimant's appraisal had been served and the respondent Ministry had requested 18 documents to review it.

The claimant confirmed the documents were en route.

The Tribunal scheduled a further Case Management Conference for October 1, 2021, to allow the Ministry's experts time to review the materials and report.
