331.7. The parties may file their exhibits in the record only at the time of the hearing. However, where the proceeding is a case inscribed for judgment by the clerk or an application to be heard by the latter or, if there is no hearing, a case inscribed for proof and hearing under article 195, the exhibits must be filed at the office of the court when the case is inscribed or when the application is presented, as the case may be. These provisions apply unless otherwise prescribed in this Code.

The person presiding over a pre-trial conference or assigned to the hearing may, however, require that a copy of the exhibits be provided to him before the hearing.

1994, c. 28, s. 20.
