Is it reasonable for two counsels to stand trial on an undefended trial over two days?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Livent. Inc. (Special Receiver) v. Deloitte & Touche, 2011 ONSC 648 (CanLII):
Justice Price also observes that in Viola v. Hornstein, 2009 CanLII 16584; in the post-Grid era, Brown J. held that allowing each of two counsel trial time of 10 hours per day and an equal time for trial preparation resulted in reasonable costs for an undefended trial over two days. This approach seems reasonable to me for a case having the duration and complexity of the matter before me.
