Is it possible for a motion to be heard on a long motion in a single day?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Van Nispen v. McCarron & Chobotiuk Financial Services, 2019 ONSC 3658 (CanLII):
In Chitel v. Rothbart, [1984] O.J. No. 2238, the court began hearing submissions on a long motion on one day, and adjourned to the next day to continue the hearing. On the next day, one of the parties sought to file an affidavit which had been prepared overnight, something the court refused, observing that it would be “essentially unfair” do to so (para. 34).
