AMENDING DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL DELIVERED BY R.G.M. MAKUCH
1In accordance with Rule 24.4 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, whereby the Tribunal may at any time and without prior notice to the parties correct a technical or typographical error made in a decision or order, the Decision and Order (“Decision”) issued on October 19, 2021, is hereby amended.
2By deleting paragraph [33] from the Decision:
- With respect to White Star’s request for its costs of the City’s Motion to Dismiss the claim which resulted in the Tribunal’s decision dated April 14, 2021, Tribunal Rule 23.1 provides that any request for costs must be made within 30 days after the Written Decision is issued. The Tribunal’s decision on the City’s Motion to dismiss was issued on April 14, 2021, and it is again clear that White Star’s request made in its Response Record dated July 2, 2021 does meet the 30 day deadline imposed by the above referred to Rule 23.1. White Star’s request is therefore denied.
3And replacing it with the following:
- With respect to White Star’s request for its costs of the City’s Motion to Dismiss the claim which resulted in the Tribunal’s decision dated April 14, 2021, Tribunal Rule 23.1 provides that any request for costs must be made within 30 days after the Written Decision is issued. The Tribunal’s decision on the City’s Motion to dismiss was issued on April 14, 2021, and it is again clear that White Star’s request made in its Response Record dated July 2, 2021 does not meet the 30 day deadline imposed by the above referred to Rule 23.1. White Star’s request is therefore denied.
4In all other respects the Tribunal’s Decision remains the same.
