27. The pre-hearing conference is held by a Tribunal member. Its purpose is

(1)  to define the issues to be argued at the hearing;

(2)  to assess the advisability of clarifying and specifying the parties’ contentions and the conclusions sought;

(3)  to ensure that all documentary evidence is exchanged by the parties;

(4)  to plan the conduct of the proceeding and the order of presentation of evidence at the hearing;

(5)  to examine the possibility for the parties of admitting certain facts or of proving them by means of sworn statements; and

(6)  to examine any other matter likely to simplify or accelerate the conduct of the hearing.

The pre-hearing conference may also allow the parties to come to an agreement and thus terminate the matter.
