972. When the case is ready, the clerk summons the parties to the hearing. The summons must indicate that a party may, on request, obtain a copy of the documents, statements and reports filed at the office of the court by the other parties; it must also indicate that any person representing a person, partnership or association must produce a written mandate.

In the summons, the clerk informs the parties that all documents, statements and reports must be filed at least 15 days before the date of the hearing. The clerk also informs the parties that they must bring their witnesses to the hearing and identify any witnesses they wish the clerk to summon.

The clerk summons the witnesses requested by the parties. A party who summons a witness may be ordered to pay the costs if the judge considers that the witness was summoned and required to attend unnecessarily.
