Motions for Summary Judgment
Effective January 1, 2010, significant changes to Rule 20 of the Rules of Civil Procedure dealing with motions for summary judgment came into effect. Since some summary judgment motions may involve "mini-trials" using both written and viva voce evidence, all motions for summary judgment on the Estates List now will be subject to pre-hearing management.

Estates Confirmation Process
Bookings made through OSCAR are initially noted as 'Unconfirmed'. Estates bookings must be confirmed within 7 days. To confirm your matter you must deliver your materials as well as payment of the appropriate Court Filing Fee to the Court Office within 7 days or your booking will automatically be rejected by the system.
For more information regarding the confirmation process please contact the Court Office.
Practice Directions & Administrative Notices
The Judiciary may issue general communications relating to practice before the Court as either a provincial or a regional practice direction. The Court may also issue advisories about administrative matters. Practice directions are notices, guides or other publications that govern the practice for proceedings subject to the appropriate rules of procedure. An administrative notice is a general communication, usually of a regional nature, that relates to the administration of the courts.
