Facts of the case

This is a brief oral decision arising from a status hearing in the matter of Guy Brideau v. WorkSafeNB before the Court of Appeal of New Brunswick (file number 112-25-CA). The hearing was held on July 20, 2026, before the Honourable Justice Dysart. Guy Brideau, the appellant, represented himself, while Catherine Hirbour appeared for the respondent, WorkSafeNB. The document does not disclose the underlying facts of the appeal, the nature of the original dispute, or any prior proceedings that led to this appeal.

Policy and legislative provisions at issue

The only procedural provision identified in the document is Rule 62.15.1, which governs the conduct of status hearings. No contractual clauses, policy terms, or substantive legislative provisions are discussed, as the document is limited to the administrative scheduling of the appeal.

Reasoning and analysis

The decision was delivered orally and contains no reasoning or analysis. It does not address the merits of the appeal, any evidentiary matters, or the parties' positions.

Ruling and overall outcome

Justice Dysart ordered that the status hearing be adjourned to September 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. This was a procedural order and does not resolve or address the substantive appeal. The document does not identify a "successful party" or "unsuccessful party," as the appeal itself was not decided—no ruling on the merits was issued at this stage. Correspondingly, no monetary amount was ordered, granted, or awarded in this decision; the source is entirely silent on costs or damages.
