1997-03-05 Decision on the motion for leave to intervene, Co, by the Parent Student Association of Preston. This application for leave to intervene on an appeal scheduled to be heard Monday, the 10th of March 1997 was handed to me at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday, the 5th of March 1997. There is no guarantee that the factum could be filed by Friday the 7th. There would be no time for the parties to consider or respond to it even if it could be filed by Friday. Much as I would like to grant the applicant intervener status, it is simply too late to do so. Neither the parties nor the Court could give proper consideration to it at this late date. The application is therefore dismissed
Dismissed, no order as to costs
