Justice Rennie, who will be presiding over the January hearing, met with opposing counsel to allocate the time between the parties and to narrow the focus of the hearing. At this point, Justice Rennie has adopted DoJ's position that the only issue on which he will rule in January is the constitutionality of s. 87.4, the provision which abolished the files. Justice Rennie appears to have accepted DoJ's view that it dictates what the parties initiating the litigation may argue and whom they may represent at the hearing.

Lead cases were served and filed for each of our four categories: FSW applications (a) lodged before 27 February 2008 and (i) never assessed, ii) assessed before March 29th or (iii) assessed after March 29th and (b) lodged between 27 February 2008 and 25 June 2010. Thus, anyone in each of these four categories who joins the unfairCIC.com group before January 8th will benefit directly from Justice Rennie's ruling.
