Case management conference
Subregulation 1

to determine the points on which the parties have to present further arguments or which call for further evidence to be produced;
to clarify the terms of the orders sought by the parties, their arguments of fact and law and the points at issue between them;
to ensure that all agreements reached between the parties about the matters in issue and the conduct of the proceedings are recorded; or
to facilitate the settlement of the proceedings.
Subregulation 2
Unless the Board otherwise directs, a case management conference shall be held as soon as practicable after the filing of the defence by the Commission.
