Commission Evidence by Video Conference
➢ Motion refused after balancing Rule 56 factors to determine whether the advantages of using video conferencing outweigh the possible prejudices. Convenience was the factor weighing heavily in favor of the granting of the order. Convenience, however, standing alone is a weak basis upon which to excuse a witness from attending in person. Here, there was no direct evidence that the two witnesses, who lived in Lebanon, would not voluntarily attend court in Nova Scotia. Further, the cost of travel was not a significant feature in the circumstances of this case.
