Section 30 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

30. Adjournment. 1) As soon as possible before the presentation of the motion, the petitioner shall notify the Clerk by letter, by facsimile or by e-mail, that the parties have consented to an adjournment, or that one of the parties will seek an adjournment on the day the motion is presented.

(2)  In the absence of such a notice and saving special circumstances, the Court shall hear the motion and adjudicate it.

(3)  A motion may not be adjourned solely on the basis of the consent of the parties if there is less than one clear juridical day remaining before the scheduled date of presentation. The parties must instead obtain authorization from the judge presiding the panel or, in the absence of that judge, from another judge of the panel.

(4)  Furthermore, the hearing of a motion to dismiss an appeal based on subparagraphs 4.1 or 5 of the first paragraph of article 501 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25) may not be adjourned solely on the basis of the consent of the parties if there are less than 10 days remaining before the scheduled date of presentation. The parties must instead apply to the Court by letter, by facsimile or by e-mail requesting the adjournment of the motion to a subsequent date, with supporting reasons.
