In this rule —
appearance means a memorandum of appearance.
This rule does not limit rule 27.
When the first appearance is filed in a case, a registrar may summons the parties to the case to attend a case management hearing before a registrar.
The date for the case management hearing must be at least 14 days after the date the summons is issued.
If after the first appearance is filed and before the date for the case management hearing another party files an appearance, the registrar must summons the party to attend the case management hearing for which a summons has been issued under subrule (3), despite subrule (4).
The case management hearing may be held even if, at the time of the hearing, not all parties to the case have been served with the writ or have filed appearances.
