[3] On consent, I establish the following timetable:
a) Affidavits of Documents to be exchanged by March 31, 2021; b) Examinations for discovery completed by May 31, 2021; c) Undertakings answered by June 15, 2021; d) Pre-trial/settlement conference on June 16, 2021 at 9 a.m.; e) Plaintiff’s affidavits of their witnesses’ evidence in-chief to be delivered by July 20, 2021; f) Defendant’s affidavits of their witnesses’ evidence in-chief to be delivered by August 20, 2021; g) Plaintiff’s factum to be delivered by September 10, 2021; h) Defendant’s factum to be delivered by September 17, 2021; and i) Summary trial the week of September 20, 2021.
