Court Decisions
C-25 - Code of Civil Procedure
Section 110.1
Disposition versions
110.1. Actions and applications that are to be contested orally must be heard or scheduled for proof and hearing and, in the latter case, referred by order to the clerk for scheduling of the hearing, and those that are to be contested in writing inscribed for proof and hearing, within a peremptory time limit of 180 days after service of the motion. In family matters, however, the peremptory time limit is one year.
The court may extend the peremptory time limits, if warranted by the complexity of the matter or special circumstances, upon a request submitted at the time of presentation of the motion to institute proceedings. If, on the day the motion to institute proceedings is presented, the parties are unable to assess the time needed to allow the scheduling of the hearing or the inscription of the case, they may request an extension on the same grounds at any time before the expiry of the peremptory time limit.
The court may also relieve a party from the consequences of failure to act within the time limit upon proof that it was in fact impossible for the party to act within the time limit.
The decision must in all cases contain reasons.
