British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Anderson v. Jawara, 2007 BCSC 1174 (CanLII):
In Watson v. Leung [2000] B.C.J. No. 91 and [2000] B.C.S.C. 99, Mr. Justice Holmes approved of Master Horn adjourning an application to accord Rule 66 status to an action. In paragraph 11, Mr. Justice Holmes said this: Absent sufficient information to reasonably assess what the issues at trial will be, estimates by anyone of the witnesses required, what evidence might be agreed upon, and what reports might be accepted without cross examination, is speculative and generally unhelpful to any rational decision of whether an action could be tried in two days.
