Session description:

Gastops v. MXI was one of the longest and most complex civil trials in Canadian justice history. It was facilitated by the application of inexpensive electronic technology costing less than $1,000. Presiding Superior Court (Ontario) Justice B. Thomas Granger and counsel will discuss how this technology was used, how it saved both the parties and the overall administration of justice hundreds of thousands of dollars and months or years of trial time. Who should lead the way in introducing the application of technology to the courtroom? What are the advantages for the administration of justice, judges and lawyers? Justice Granger and counsel will discuss how the lessons learned in Gastops could be applied to cases of short duration and family law, enhancing greater access to justice while reducing costs and improving efficiency.
