DIV COURT FILE NO.: TBA

(Ottawa)

DATE: 20200716

SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - DIVISIONAL COURT - ONTARIO

RE: CBC v. Association of Professionals and Supervisors

BEFORE: D.L. Corbett J.

COUNSEL: Nadia Effendi and Odessa O’Dell, for the Applicant

Katty Duranleau, for the Respondent

CASE MANAGEMENT ENDORSEMENT

[1] This endorsement reflects a case management teleconference conducted on June 3, 2020. There are three related applications between these parties arising from the same factual background involving one employee of the applicant. All three applications shall be heard together by a bilingual panel of three judges of the Divisional Court on September 8, 2020, for an estimated 1.0 days.

[2] The applications shall be heard by ZOOM videoconference. Log-in information for the hearing shall be provided to counsel in due course by email. Neither counsel nor the court shall gown for the hearing.

[3] Counsel have agreed on a schedule for exchange of remaining materials. Counsel shall establish a password-protected download-only electronic drop box from which all materials for the applications may be downloaded and shall provide the court with the URL and password by August 21, 2020.

(a) All documents shall be uploaded to the drop box in pdf format.

(b) Documents should be labelled in a manner that identifies them clearly for the court so that it is not necessary to open the document to understand what it is. Pages should be numbered sequentially within each pdf. If this is not practical, given the current state of the documents, then individual documents should be uploaded to the drop box in pdf form, so that each document is clearly labelled, enabling the court to find documents quickly during the course of the hearing.

(c) Where possible, factums should contain hyperlinks for authorities.

(d) Books of authorities containing the full text of authorities should not be uploaded to the drop box. However, citations to cases in the factums are to provide, if possible, a hyperlink to the online version of cases. The only exceptions to this principle are authorities not available online, such as excerpts from textbooks, foreign law, or Canadian decisions not reported online: these should be collected in a small brief of unreported authorities and filed electronically.

(e) The parties may file, but are not required to file, factum compendiums for any factums they file for these applications.

(f) The parties shall file their agreement on the disposition of costs, or, if the parties have not agreed as to costs, then each party shall file its bill of costs and costs outline and any brief supporting materials relied upon in respect to costs.

(g) The parties shall file counsel sheets setting out the names of all counsel appearing on the record in the appeal, and indicating the time estimate for each counsel making oral submissions to the court.

(h) The parties are permitted to (but are not required to) file a compendium for oral argument in addition to documents permitted under the Rules.

[4] The court wishes to avoid unnecessary repetition in the materials before the court. The court recognizes, also, that application materials have already been completed by the parties and the court does not wish to put the parties to the expense of revising their materials. In this regard, the parties may (but are not obliged to):

(a) File a common record for the applications, to avoid duplication of the record;

(b) File one compendium for oral argument for all three applications;

(c) File one brief of authorities for all three applications.

[5] One paper copy of any materials not previously filed with the court will have to be filed with the Divisional Court office in Ottawa, in due course, after the resumption of ordinary court operations, and any applicable court fees will have to be paid.

[6] The court has endorsed its fiat on this endorsement this day; the unsigned version distributed to the parties today has the authority and effect of the signed version, a copy of which will be provided to the parties in due course.
