CaseChat Overview and Summary
The court considered the relevant provisions of the Supreme Court Rules and the guiding principles in relation to the management of the Valuation Compensation and Planning List. The court noted that Rule 8.05(2)(b) of Chapter II of the Rules of Court provides that the court may, on its own initiative or at the request of a party, direct that any material in an affidavit or other document that is not relevant or necessary to the determination of the matter shall be struck out. The court also noted that in the context of compensation claims, it is important to ensure that the process is fair and efficient and that irrelevant or immaterial material should not be permitted to delay or obstruct the proceedings. The court found that the material in question was not relevant or necessary to the determination of the compensation claim and was likely to cause unnecessary delay or expense. The court accordingly exercised its discretion under Rule 8.05(2)(b) to strike out the irrelevant material and made appropriate directions in relation to the further conduct of the proceedings.
