Strict trial timetable imposed to ensure motor vehicle accident case completes within Simplified Rules five-day limit.
At a case conference and pre-trial for a motor vehicle accident personal injury claim proceeding under the Simplified Rules, the court addressed whether the trial could be completed within the allotted five days.
The plaintiff had initially proposed a witness list that exceeded the time limit.
After the plaintiff reduced her witness list, the court imposed a strict trial timetable to ensure the matter could be heard within five days, noting that the plaintiff chose the Simplified Rules and must bear the burden of fitting her case within its constraints.
