Full text
974. In all cases where a hearing is necessary, the clerk, where reasonably practicable, fixes a time and place for the hearing which will allow the parties and their witnesses to attend. The judge may hold a hearing elsewhere than at the place where the action was instituted.
On the day fixed for the hearing, the clerk, in the absence of the judge, may postpone a case at the request of a party if the clerk considers that the ends of justice will be better served; in such a case, the clerk must notify the other party without delay and rule on that party’s costs; the clerk’s decision as to costs may be revised by the judge during the hearing on the merits.
