Register of class actions

 

 

1) Calling of the general roll

Once an Attestation that a File is Complete has been issued, cases in which the Joint Declaration that a File is Complete specifies a hearing of three days or less are placed on a general roll presided over by the special clerk.

2) Calling of the special roll

Once an Attestation that a File is Complete has been issued, cases in which the Joint Declaration that a File is Complete specifies a hearing of more than three days are referred to the coordinating judge for the district of Iberville for a pre-trial conference, case management and fixing of a date for trial.

1) Judge acting in chambers

A judge acting in chambers is available on every day on which the Superior Court sits.

To be heard, attorneys must enter their name in the register kept in courtroom 1.03, and include the information for the case, its nature and its estimated duration.

On days on which there is no practice chamber in the district of Iberville, attorneys can go to the Longueuil courthouse after contacting the coordinating judge for the district of Longueuil.

2) Duty judge

In urgent cases, a duty judge is available at all times outside normal court hours.

The duty judge can be reached by contacting the Montréal courthouse security service (514-393-2819) which will, in turn, contact the duty judge who will then communicate directly with the person making the request.

1) Application for postponement made on the day of the hearing

Applications must be presented to the judge responsible for calling the roll on the date of the trial.

2) Contested application for postponement made prior to the day of the hearing

Applications must be presented by way of a motion in the practice chamber of the Superior Court in the district of Iberville.

3) Non-contested application for postponement made prior to the day of the hearing

Applications must be submitted in writing to the coordinating judge for the district of Iberville, who will dispose of them appropriately in light of the circumstances.

1) Transfer of case (Art. 48 C.p.c) 

La demande doit être notifiée à la partie adverse avec un avis de présentation qui mentionne « Ã  une date qu’il plaira au juge en chef de fixer Â». La demande et la preuve de signification doivent être déposées au dossier de la Cour et une copie doit être transmise par courriel à l’adresse jugeenchef-cs@judex.qc.ca ou par télécopieur au 514 873-5959. Le bureau du juge en chef vous indiquera de quelle façon votre demande sera entendue.

2) Vexatious or quarrelsome litigant 

Lorsqu'un jugement rendu par un juge de la Cour supérieure déclare une personne « plaideur vexatoire ou quérulent Â», il est nécessaire d’obtenir l’autorisation du juge en chef ou d’un juge qu’il désigne avant de déposer une procédure.

Voici la marche à suivre :

  1. Préparer une demande d’autorisation de déposer une procédure soutenue par une déclaration sous serment;
  2. Cette demande d’autorisation doit être accompagnée d’une copie de la procédure pour laquelle l’autorisation est demandée ainsi que, le cas échéant, les pièces à son soutien;
  3. Le tout doit être acheminé au bureau du juge en chef par courrier Ã  l’adresse suivante : Juge en chef de la Cour supérieure, Palais de Justice, 1, rue Notre-Dame Est, Montréal (Québec) H2Y 1B6.

Il est suggéré de joindre la copie du jugement déclarant la personne « plaideur vexatoire ou quérulent Â».

Si l’autorisation est accordée, l’original de l’autorisation sera transmis par lettre puisque cette autorisation devra être jointe à la procédure autorisée. Il est donc important d’indiquer une adresse postale.

Pre-trial conferences are presided by the coordinating judge for the district of Iberville or by a judge designated by the coordinating judge in accordance with the instructions given in the letters and notices sent to the attorneys responsible for the case. All applications must be sent to the coordinating judge for the district of Iberville.

The use of technological assistance during hearings at the Longueuil courthouse is possible in the following situations:

Telephone conference call

Telephone conference calls are scheduled with the prior agreement of the coordinating judge for the district of Iberville.

Videolink

To hear witnesses during an examination on the merits, a videolink may be used in accordance with the procedure agreed on with the coordinating judge for the district of Iberville.

Please note that unless a videolink is specifically required, the technology cannot be used if a telephone conference call would otherwise meet all the requirements of the hearing (for example: to hear a witness at a hearing presided at by a judge).
