2014-02-11 | Order on motion to file a lengthy factum, (by ROTHSTEIN J.) | |
2014-02-11 | Decision on motion to file a lengthy factum, Ro, UPON APPLICATION by the appellants for an order permitting the appellants and respondent to file factums on appeal of 60 pages and to present oral argument not exceeding 90 minutes at the hearing of the appeal; AND HAVING READ the consent of the respondent and the motion materials; AND while the evidentiary record is no doubt voluminous, the questions to be addressed by this Court are questions of law, upon which the parties should be focused; AND upon the constitutional questions in this case not appearing to be more complex than those in the numerous constitutional matters that are argued before this Court without requiring a departure from the 40-page maximum provided for in Rule 42(4); AND having regard to the observation of Richards J.A. (as he then was) in considering a similar motion in the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal in this matter that . . . all counsel are strongly urged not to treat page length maximums as effective minimums and to bear in mind the age-old truism that, in factum writing, quality always trumps quantity. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. The requests to file factums in excess of 40 pages are denied. 2. The requests to present oral argument not exceeding 90 minutes at the hearing of the appeal are deferred to a date following receipt and consideration of the written arguments of the parties and any interveners at which point the Court may order or direct as it deems appropriate.
