O. Sabo

A status conference was held regarding an expropriation compensation claim.

The claimant sought to maintain the scheduled hearing dates despite incomplete preparations and outstanding disclosure.

The Tribunal ordered that the hearing dates be maintained, added two additional days to the schedule, and established a timeline for pre-hearing events including the exchange of witness statements and joint document books.

The parties requested an adjournment of a scheduled 15-day expropriation compensation hearing during a case management conference.

The Tribunal denied the request, noting its strict policy against adjourning fixed hearing dates on consent without a formal motion under Rule 17 and a compelling justification.

The Tribunal found that the delay in completing one examination for discovery did not warrant rescheduling the hearing, which was still four months away.

A revised procedural order was issued to adjust interim deadlines.

The City of Windsor brought a motion for directions in an expropriation compensation proceeding, seeking orders to compel the Claimant to produce lease-related documentation, attend examinations for discovery, and adjourn the scheduled hearing.

The Claimant opposed the motion, arguing the requested documents were irrelevant and the request was late.

The Tribunal granted the City's motion, ordering the production of the requested documents, permitting both parties to conduct examinations for discovery, and adjourning the hearing to allow for these steps to be completed.
