RE: Superior Court of Justice, Ontario, Canada - Small Claims Court.
A mandatory Settlement Conference was scheduled for Oct. 28, 2008. Both parties were required by law to file with the court and serve all concerned parties with ANY/All documents to be used at trial - 14 days before 'That' Conference. WE, the defendant's did so - the Plaintiff did not.
We attended the Conference - because nobody informed us -that HIS lawyer was to be the JUDGE that day and a Conflict of Interest meant the Conference had to be ajourned to a later date. The Plaintiff was obviously informed ahead of time of this 'Conflict of Interest', because he did not attend the court that day.
Does anyone know whose job it is and how long beforehand a party MUST be to informed of a 'Conflict of Interest?'
Does the Plaintiff now have more time to file evidence? [longer than we did?]
How do we fight this injustice?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
