What is the test for a motion to extend the deadline to set an action down for trial?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Farrage v. D’Andrea, 2020 ONSC 2 (CanLII):
In particular they asserted: “It is common ground that the motion judge correctly identified the applicable law. Subrules 48.14(5)-(7) provide that where the plaintiff seeks to extend the deadline to set an action down for trial, the plaintiff/moving party must show cause why the action should not be dismissed for delay. In order to meet this burden the plaintiff must prove that (1) there is an acceptable explanation for the delay and (2) that allowing the action to proceed would not cause the defendant(s) to suffer non-compensable prejudice: Kara v. Arnold, 2014 ONCA 871; 328 O.A.C. 382, at para. 8. This test is conjunctive.
