The decision addresses procedural issues arising at the start of a wrongful dismissal trial under the simplified procedure.
The plaintiff sought relief regarding the admissibility of certain documents produced late by the defendant and guidance on trial management.
The court held that a redacted settlement letter could be admitted due to a compelling public interest, but excluded other late-produced documents for lack of explanation.
The court also clarified the treatment of discovery transcripts and trial affidavits, and allowed an amendment to the Statement of Claim on consent.
