The latest records are in the possession of BC Rail, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Bennett was told.

"I'm very concerned we have a moving target here," Kinsella's lawyer, James Sullivan, told the judge.

Bennett said she will view the documents and provide a descriptive summary of each document, which will provided to the lawyers before legal arguments on the matter are heard July 23. Three days have also been set aside on Aug. 18, 19 and 20.
