Procedural Context
The September 18, 2026 Pretrial Conference followed an earlier Pretrial Conference before Honourable Judge D. Mah on September 4, 2026, and the Agreement on Scope of Trial dated September 17, 2026.
The agreement addressed the issues remaining for trial, including matters concerning the principal amount owing, IFRC's withdrawal of its counterclaim, and outstanding questions relating to costs under Rule 20.
Certain issues remained unresolved, including paragraph 11 of the Agreement on Scope of Trial.
Trial Scheduling
Following clarification of the issues requiring judicial determination, the scheduled trial time was reduced to the following:
October 27, 2026: Half trial day
This scheduling adjustment reflected the narrowed scope of matters requiring consideration at trial.
