Case Management Conference (LTB)

Practice Directions

Where the parties are unable to settle all issues, the LTB will proceed with case management. If a party has not already done so, this is an opportunity to identify Human Rights Code, French Language Service or American Sign Language/Quebec Sign Language needs. Moreover, parties will be asked to consider the following:

facts and evidence that may be agreed upon;

the dates by which any steps in the proceeding are to be taken or begun; the clarification and simplification of issues in dispute;

disclosure and production of materials arguably relevant to the issues in dispute;

the number and identity of witnesses each party intends to call, and discussion of whether all proposed witnesses are necessary; and

the amount of time necessary to complete the hearing.

At this stage of the CMH, the LTB Member or Hearing Officer will issue any orders necessary for the fair, just and expeditious conduct or resolution of the issues in dispute. This includes issuing orders for disclosure of arguably relevant documents or materials, identifying the issues in dispute, requiring payment of money into the LTB and setting out procedural matters that the parties may agree on.
