Description
Access to justice is an important, overarching mandate for the legal community with many moving parts. What can one lawyer do? You can start with a purposeful and pragmatic approach in your litigation strategy. Post-Hryniak, the court looks for a balance between simplified and proportionate procedures. Our presenters help you contemplate your overall strategy to determine how your client's case will best be heard by the judge, whether that means a joint submission of an expert report, court appointed experts, or purposeful negotiation and narrowing of issues before the hearing.
- Ensure you are properly following the principles set out in Rule 53
- Familiarize yourself with acceptable standards for expert reports and proper filing procedures
- Learn to map the list of witnesses in an age where cumbersome pre-trial procedures are no longer acceptable
