REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
GILES A.S.P.
[1] There is before me a motion for an extension of time to file a reply and defence to counterclaim and a suggested timetable for the completion of steps prior to pre-trial conference. The extensions will be granted. The timetable suggested is in my view at the extreme limit of permissible delay. Settlement discussions should be brought forward and discovery should be commenced and the motion for re-attendance to answer questions refused on discovery should be brought before the end of the year. While hoping that such an accelerated timetable will be observed, I am prepared to order the dates requested for the completion of the various steps. But, in the light of the generous time thereby permitted and the provisions of Rule 7 (3), there will be no provision that the time limits may be changed on consent.
ORDER
This Court orders that the reply and defence to counterclaim shall be allowed to be filed on or before October 12th, 1999. The plaintiff shall have served its affidavit of documents by October 15th, 1999. The parties are to have exchanged copies of any relevant documents and the plaintiff is to have brought any motion requesting that the counterclaim be dismissed before November 15th, 1999. The parties are to have had settlement discussions as required by Rule 257 by December 21st, 1999. By February 15th, 2000, the parties are to have completed examinations for discovery. By March 15th, 2000, the parties are to have filed any motions arising from discoveries. By April 28th, 2000, the plaintiffs are to have requested a pre-trial conference.
