Counsel: R. Vinett, for the Plaintiff(s)/Applicant(s) J. Lin, for the Defendant(s)/ Respondent(s)
Heard: December 11, 2020
Endorsement
[1] The Plaintiff seeks an order striking the jury notice on the basis that it is unlikely the case will be tried as scheduled due to the fact that jury trials are not currently available in Toronto. The trial is scheduled for January 11, 2021.
[2] It is expected that the court will make an announcement on December 29, 2020 with respect to the availability of jury trials in January 2021. It would be premature to hear the Plaintiff’s motion to strike the jury before this announcement.
[3] I schedule the motion to be heard by me on Friday, January 8, 2021 at 9 a.m. The following timetable is established:
- Moving party’s motion record to be served by December 30, 2020;
- Responding party’s record to be served by January 5, 2021;
- Moving party’s factum to be served by January 6, 2021; and
- Responding party’s factum to be served by January 7, 2021.
