After numerous inquiries on this point, my information indicates that transcripts were made in only one of the 11 cases. In 9 cases, there appear to be no recordings. In the Donnelly case, recordings were made, but only as a convenience to Anita Braha who had difficulties taking notes. They were not made available to Donnelly for appeal. I have been told by the FOI director that SFU lawyers listened to them shortly before conceding defeat in the arbitration. No transcripts were made, and the Panel made no use of the recordings in their deliberations.
