Mr. Morris is currently only accepting electronic delivery of Statement of Issues and Mediation Briefs, either by PDF, download link or by fax. A separate hard copy is not required.
If you do need to deliver a hard copy of your material, our delivery hours are 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. Please email Jeff to let him know about the delivery.
For Rule 24.1 Toronto Mandatory mediations, Statement of Issues are due 7 days prior to the mediation date and should be sent to both the mediator and opposing counsel.
If you wish to submit an additional and separate confidential brief or Statement of Issues to only the mediator, please advise in a cover letter or email and mark the document “CONFIDENTIAL – FOR MEDIATOR ONLY”
Currently, all mediations are conducted on Zoom.
At the present time, Jeff is not planning to return to in-person mediations.
Jeff will stay engaged in the mediation process and after 3 hours (half-day), his overtime rate will apply by the hour, or part thereof.
If the mediation is booked in the morning, Jeff may not be able to stay past 1 pm if he has another half-day mediation booked for the afternoon.
If you must have the flexibility to stay past the 3 hour mediation half-day, it is recommended to reserve Jeff for the full day, or for an afternoon mediation (Jeff can usually stay late after 5 pm).
