Hello I made an interim application to have the sale of assets held intrust until the court has heard the divorce case.
My application has been accepted by the court with the message "the interim hearing will ba a cros on affidavits and will deal with only the issue of the proceeds from the sale of property.
I looked up this information, however I don't realy understand it. Any help would be appreciated.
EVIDENCE BY CROSS-EXAMINATION ON AFFIDAVIT
On a Motion or Application
39.02 (1) Where a party to a motion or application has served every affidavit on which the party intends to rely, and has completed all examinations under Rule 39.03, he or she may cross-examine the deponent of any affidavit served by a party who is adverse in interest on the motion or application.
(2) A party who has cross-examined on an affidavit delivered by an adverse party shall not subsequently deliver any affidavit for use at the hearing or conduct an examination under Rule 39.03 without leave or consent, and the court shall grant leave, on such terms as are just, where it is satisfied that the party ought to be permitted to respond with evidence in the form of an affidavit or a transcript of examination conducted under Rule 39.03 to any matter raised on the cross-examination.
To be Exercised with Reasonable Diligence
(3) The right to cross-examine shall be exercised with reasonable diligence, and the court may refuse an adjournment of a motion or application for the purpose of cross-examination where the party seeking the adjournment has failed to act with reasonable diligence.
Additional Provisions Applicable to Motions
(4) On a motion other than a motion for summary judgment or a contempt order, a party who cross-examines on an affidavit,
(a) shall, where the party orders a transcript of the examination, purchase and serve a copy on every adverse party on the motion, free of charge; and
(b) is liable for the party and party costs of every adverse party on the motion in respect of the cross-examination, regardless of the outcome of the proceeding, unless the court orders otherwise.
