Tribunal denies motion for summary judgment, finding it lacks statutory authority to grant such relief.
The Director requested a pre-hearing conference to argue a motion for summary judgment to revoke two orders made in a previous Tribunal decision regarding the return of seized livestock medicines and personal items.
The Tribunal held that it does not have the statutory authority or inherent jurisdiction to grant summary judgment, as its Rules of Procedure do not contain a provision analogous to Rule 20 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The motion for summary judgment was denied, and the Tribunal issued procedural directions for the review hearing to proceed in writing.
