  • Abridgeable on motion under r 8(1). The Court may also give directions under r 385 in a specially managed proceeding.
  • Counts backward. "At least" engages Interpretation Act s 27(1), so both the day of service and filing and the hearing day are excluded and 20 clear days must intervene. The motion itself may only be brought after the defendant has filed a defence and before the time and place for trial have been fixed (r 213(1)), and a second such motion requires leave (r 213(2)). No motion for summary judgment or summary trial may be brought in a simplified action (r 297). Rule 213 read in full on verification.
