Respondent's request for its witness to finish testifying via teleconference granted.
The respondent requested an order permitting its witness to finish her testimony via teleconference because she lived in the United States and had a busy schedule.
The applicant did not respond to the request.
The Tribunal granted the request, noting that the burden is on the party opposing an electronic hearing to show significant prejudice, and that the witness's credibility was not likely to be in issue.
Tribunal resolves multiple pre-hearing procedural motions regarding document production, expert witnesses, and application amendments.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging the respondent failed to accommodate his disability during the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed multiple procedural requests from both parties.
The Tribunal struck remedies sought against former respondent law schools, denied the respondent's request to bifurcate the hearing, and ordered the applicant to produce background documents relied upon by his proposed expert witness.
The Tribunal also permitted the applicant to amend his application to increase the damages claimed from $100,000 to $600,000, but denied his request to allow a second expert to testify via teleconference without first providing an expert report.
