Join André Givogue for a pivotal Federal Court of Appeal hearing on October 10 at 9:30 AM, addressing genetic characteristics and perceived disability discrimination in the workplace. Your support is vital as we strive for justice and national precedent.
I have no clue if I am sending this message directly to you Andre, but I think I am. It’s Jen here with S4T and T4T. I “attended” court today and I think you did a great job! I was shocked they gave you a time limit! On Fri night zoom I would love for you to answer this question, did you know you were going to have a limited time to present your case? I thought it was rather ridiculous! Anyway, your courage and perseverance was very evident in court today Andre! Your family will be so proud, I am not your blood family, but I was proud of your strength and how well you articulate yourself! Prayers to you and your family while you are dealing with so many stressful & sad things in your life!
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your message. (This message appears as a comment on my article so it's not a direct message but rather a public comment.)
First, I want to apologize for the delay, I'm just catching up on all my messages and emails. As you may know, a lot happened in the past couple weeks.
In regards to time, in the "Scheduling Order" we received a few weeks before the hearing date there's a clear indication of the time "for a duration not to exceed two and a half hours". That time is then divided by 2 (half for the Appellant and the other half for the Respondent). This time includes your opening and closing statements as well as your submissions (arguments) and rebuttals. So it's up to us to divide our own 1 hour 15 minutes accordingly. I personally think the judges were very generous with me in regards to time. :)
