Replying to the application[edit]
The person making an interim application, the applicant, must serve you with his or her Notice of Motion in Form 16 at least seven days before the date of the hearing, along with any other documents he or she will be using at the hearing. The hearing date will usually have been fixed by the court registry, not by the applicant.
There is no document that you must file to reply to the application, although it is possible to respond using the Reply form used to respond to Applications to Obtain an Order. The Reply form is available online. See the Provincial Court Forms section.
Whether you file a Reply or not, you must show up on the date set for the hearing or the court may make the order sought by the applicant. Make sure that you bring any important documents with you that will help at the hearing of the application.
The rules[edit]
