When is the deadline for service of notice of motion?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from The date on which the motion is to be heard. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 7 days
- Trigger
- The date on which the motion is to be heard
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- r 3.02(1) court may extend or abridge, including abridging the notice period; r 37.07(2) permits an order without notice where service is impracticable or unnecessary; r 37.07(3) permits an interim order without notice where the delay necessary to effect service might entail serious consequences.
- Classic Ontario backward computation. Under r 3.01(1)(a) the words 'at least' do NOT create a clear-days count: exclude the day of service, include the hearing day. Because the period is seven days, r 3.01(1)(b) excludes holidays, which includes every Saturday and Sunday, so the true reach-back is about eleven calendar days and longer across a statutory holiday.
