Vancouver Canucks' general manager Dave Nonis was questioned on Thursday by Moore's lawyer, Tim Danson, and will face further questioning on Friday.
Sources tell TSN the process was delayed earlier this month because the Canucks wanted to postpone the examination to a later date in Vancouver. A judge ordered the original schedule be maintained, forcing Nonis to appear this week in Toronto.
Nonis was the Canucks' Sr. Vice-President and Director of Hockey Operations March 8, 2004 when Bertuzzi hit Moore with a punch from behind. Moore suffered three broken vertebrae and a concussion.
The first round of examination hit full stride last week with Danson's questioning of Bertuzzi in Kitchener, Ont.
A second round of examination will take place before a trial date is set, with a strong possibility that any refusals - information believed to be important to the case that isn't voluntarily supplied by those - will be argued in a public hearing.
It's believed Bertuzzi's lawyer, Geoff Adair has also conducted pre-trial examinations which includes the questioning of Steve Moore last month.
Moore is seeking a minimum of $20 million in damages.
