made by motion and notice to the parties concerned, which shall be filed in the Central Office or in the case of other Courts, the appropriate registrar or office.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the Court if satisfied that the delay caused by proceeding by motion on notice would or might entail a irreparable or serious mischief, may make any order ex parte (on a unilateral application) upon such terms as to costs or otherwise and subject to such undertaking, if any, as the Court may think just.\u00a0 Any party affected by such order may move to set it aside.<\/p>\n<p>In every case or matter which any person makes an application by motion on notice, he shall be at liberty to include in one application all matters which he then desires the order or directions of the Court.\u00a0 It is lawful for the Court to make any order or give any directions relative to or consequential on the matter of such application as may be just.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

the name and registered place of business of the solicitor to be served, and shall be dated of the date on which the same shall be served.\u00a0 Every notice of motion served by or on parties suing or appearing in person, shall state their names and places of residence and address for service.<\/p>\n<p>If, on the hearing of a motion or other application, the Court is of the opinion that any person to whom notice has not been given, ought to have or to have had such notice, the Court may either dismiss the motion or adjourn the hearing, in order that such notice may be given on such terms as the Court may think fit to impose.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing of any motion or application may from time to time be adjourned on such terms as the Court thinks fit.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiff may without special leave, be at liberty to serve any notice of motion or other notice upon a defendant, who, having been duly served with an originating summons, has not appeared within the time limited for that purpose.\u00a0 The plaintiff may, by leave of the Court given unilaterally \u00a0serve any notice of motion on a defendant along with the originating summons, or at any time after service of the originating summons and before the time limited for appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Where a party to a motion does not attend the matter may be heard in his or her absence.\u00a0 Where the Court has so proceeded, the proceeding shall not be reheard unless the Court is satisfied that the failure to attend was not due to wilful delay or negligence.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, the costs occasioned by non-attendance shall be at the discretion of the Court, which may fix the same at the time, or direct them to be paid by the party or his solicitor before he shall be permitted to have such proceeding reheard, or may make such other order as to costs as it may think fit.<\/p>\n<p>Every conditional order shall be served within ten days of the date it is pronounced unless further time is allowed by

assigned, an affidavit shall not be used without special leave of the Court, unless the same shall be produced at the hearing or shall have been filed, or, if the application shall be on notice,

may order that the amount in dispute be brought into Court or otherwise secured.<\/p>\n<p>Where an application shall be made before trial for an injunction or other order, and on the opening of such application, or at any time during its hearing, it shall appear to the Court that the matter in controversy is one which can be most conveniently dealt with by an early trial, then without first going into the merits on affidavit or other evidence, the Court may make an order for such trial.<\/p>\n<p>The Court on the application of any party to a matter, may make an order for the sale, by any person named in such order and in such manner and on such terms as the Courts thinks desirable of any goods, wares, merchandise which may be of a perishable nature or liable to injury from keeping or which for any other just and sufficient reason, it may be desirable to have sold at once.<\/p>\n<p>The Court, may on the application in any matter and upon such terms as may be just, may make an order
