Panel review of a Judge Rapporteur order on the holding of an interim conference: Request to hold interim conference dismissed. (Rule 333 RoP, R.105 RoP).
No scope for a review : Order contains a declaration of intent and does not stipulate that there will be no interim conference.
Claimant seeks a different outcome and is not alleging misuse of discretion. As the decision to hold an interim conference lies at the discretion of the Presiding Judge, acting on behalf of the Judge-Rapporteur, it is questionable whether the Panel can make the order instead of the Judge-Rapporteur, as the suggestion to conduct an interim conference is based on alleged new circumstances.
No need to discuss the Claimant´s brief which was filed outside of any case management regime and time periods set by the Court.
The Claimant cannot force the Court to schedule an interim conference by filing additional briefs and claiming them as reason for further oral discussion.
