The IFP - Halton Hills | Thursday, July 21,2022 | 10 theifp.ca le J ¢ a Tr 1tters LITIGATION ASK THE PROFESSIONAL LOCKYER Q +HEINie I have a family law issue and | want to “go straight to court” for relief. Can | do that? A The answer is “maybe”. Normally, after a family law application is commenced, the first substantive appearance in court (in the Superior Court) is for a Case Conference. Generally, you cannot bring a motion before a case conference. It can take many months to get before a judge for a Case Conference. In order to get before the court for relief before a Case Conference you have to show urgency or emergency. The court has set a relatively high threshold in terms of what is “urgent” or an “emergency”. BARRISTERS + SOLICITORS Todd C.
