Tamara Lich arrives at the Elgin Street courthouse in Ottawa on Monday morning with her lawyers and partner.The Crown had planned to call an employee from the Fairmont Chateau Laurier hotel, but has since decided against it. The witnesses didn’t have any direct interactions with Lich or Barber, and the organizers have not admitted to playing any role in the disruptions.
