CANADIAN SECURITY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
(hereinafter "CSIS")
Respondent
| APPLICATION UNDER S. 41 OF THE PRIVACY ACT for a review of CSIS" response to requests for information pursuant to section 12(1) of the Privacy Act. |
REASONS FOR ORDER
REED, J.:
[1] The applicant brings a motion for an order requiring the respondent's affiant Daryl Zelmer to appear for cross-examination on the affidavit he filed with the Court on January 20, 1999. The motion is not granted because: (1) the time limit for conducting cross-examinations on affidavits has expired under the Federal Court Rules, 1998; (2) cross-examination is not necessary in order for the applicant to have his application thoroughly and fairly dealt with by the Court; (3) cross-examination is more likely to impede and confuse this proceeding rather than be of assistance to either the applicant or the Court.
