Your Honour, my understanding is that the standard deadline is 48 hours.
Assumingly in an attempt to speed up the trial, you have already denied the defence the opportunity to present an answer to the complaint moving straight to opening statements after the motion to dismiss. Disallowing us from presenting any evidence pre-trial.
And now you have chosen to shorten the already short deadline of 48 during the trial to 24 hours arbitrarily. Thereby disallowing the defence from even questioning witnesses?
Furthermore, the time on the forums is not accurate to the time zones, how does the court expect council to find out which time is which in the timezones?
How can the court expect the council to calculate the time, come up with evidence, write statements, and do research for every dispute within such an extremely limited timeframe?
How does the court expect new lawyers to get guidance and help to manoeuvre their way to the legal system when the timeframes are so extremely short and are changed arbitrarily without reason from 48 to 24 to 12?
I understand that your honour has multiple cases and wishes to move along a few but this should not be done at the detriment to the defence.
