Following an earlier refusal to schedule the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, the court directed the parties to develop a trial preparation plan.
The parties submitted a proposed plan addressing production, examinations for discovery, undertakings, interlocutory motions, witness evidence, mediation, and trial management.
The court issued detailed case management directions establishing timelines for documentary production, discoveries, undertakings, and mediation, and provided guidance on the conduct of witness evidence and trial scheduling.
The decision also required the parties to schedule discovery-related motions and a further case conference to determine time limits for the anticipated two-week trial.
