The plaintiff sought a case conference after the defendant's counsel delayed scheduling a mediation, proposing a date in February 2022.
The court found this delay unacceptable, citing the Supreme Court's direction in Hryniak v. Mauldin to move cases forward in a timely manner.
The court emphasized the importance of mediation in the civil justice system and ordered the parties to hold a mediation before November 30, 2021, along with setting deadlines for updated medical reports and defence medical examinations.
