Synopsis

In a non-payment case involving eight tenants, the landlord's request for direct testimony by affidavit was granted. The court ordered that both sides submit their witnesses' direct testimony through affidavits, beginning with the landlord's counsel submitting direct testimony by November 15, 2024. Objections and revisions by the tenants' counsel must follow. The court held that this procedure, while objected to by the tenants, was in line with evolving court practices to expedite proceedings and did not violate the tenants' right to a fair trial. This order aims to streamline the process while maintaining the integrity of the trial.
