On November 17, the counsel for the parties had a discussion with Tribunalmember Cousineau about how long the Hearing is anticipated to take and when. Counting up witnesses for both sides, at this time the total is about 24 or 25 potential witnesses, including potential expert witnesses. With this many witnesses, the Hearing is scheduled to take place for ten weeks.
Right now the dates will begin in November 2022 and end in February 2023, in two blocks with a break in between. However, these dates are tentative. The first reason is that I applied to law school and I should hear shortly whether I will be in class at that time – if so, we would next look for dates in summer 2023. (For a case filed in 2016! Ridiculous!) The second reason is that counsel for UBC needs to verify the dates work on their side. If I don’t get into law school, I should be able to take leave from my job to make the current dates work.
