British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Watson v. Watson and Yelich, 2004 BCSC 1724 (CanLII):
Second, from Mattu v. Mattu:[2] ... If a party holds the view that a summary trial cannot fairly proceed in the absence of further evidence, then that position should be taken before trial or at the commencement of the Rule 18A hearing, and be clearly articulated to the court. If an adjournment for the purpose of cross-examination is sought that remedy should be clearly expressed in a timely way.
