The court accepted the parties' joint application to vacate the scheduled trial but refused to dispose of the matter solely on the basis of a joint letter; it required the plaintiff, the TNTL (employer/legal aid counsel) and the DoJ to file and serve detailed positions, and directed the parties to jointly propose case management directions including the option to split the trial into liability and quantum, concluding that liability-only trial remained a workable option pending resolution of related proceedings.
