Court File and Parties
COURT FILE NO.: CV-16-93 DATE: March 8, 2023
SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO
RE: 9384294 Canada Limited, Plaintiff and Brenda Leigh Bell, Defendant
HEARD: March 8, 2023 at Kenora, Ontario
BEFORE: Nieckarz J.
COUNSEL: Robin Lepere, for the Plaintiff Cheryl Siran, for the Defendant
ENDORSEMENT
[1] Case Management/Trial Management conference held by Zoom. Ms. Lepere and Ms. Siran appearing.
[2] Counsel have made progress towards readying the case for trial. They are exchanging Statements of Agreed Facts, Scott Schedules and documents. There are some pleading amendments the Defendant may require. The parties are considering the use of affidavits for evidence-in-chief to shorten the trial. They are ready to be placed on a trial list, and now that there are two counsel they agree there may be some benefit to conducting a further pre-trial / trial management conference. We have discussed that it makes sense to do this before Justice Fitzpatrick, who had previously taken on a pre-trial case management role for this file.
[3] On consent:
- This matter shall be placed on the running list commencing October 10th, 2023, for trial for four days, by Zoom.
- The running list shall be spoken to October 4, 2023, at 9:00 a.m.
- A further pre-trial/trial management conference shall be scheduled before Fitzpatrick J., to be conducted prior to the end of June (if possible).
The Honourable Madam Justice T. J. Nieckarz
