I have a Settlement Conference coming up in a few weeks and am looking for information on when my brief has to be filed at the court. I am the Respondant. This takes place in Ontario.
From going through the Family Law Rules, I know:
My question is, what is the deadline for filing the brief at the court? Is it 2 days, with the confirmation of attendance? Or is it 4 days, when I server the other side?
I've searched but couldn't find this explicitly stated anywhere.
Thanks!
From going through the Family Law Rules, I know:
- The Applicant has to send me their brief “seven days before the date scheduled for the conference”. These are calendar days.
- I have “not later than four days before that date” to send the other side my brief. These are business days.
- I have to confirm my attendance no “later than 2 p.m. two days before the date scheduled for the conference.” Assume business days.
- It also says that no briefs or documents can be served or filed after 2 pm on this date.
