Each party must file a written notice at least 14 days before the pre-trial conference:
(a) certifying:

(i)

whether the case is ready to proceed to trial and, if not, why not;

(ii)

that, to the best of the party's knowledge, all orders in the trial notice have been complied with;

(iii)

if the date of actual compliance with an order differs from the date ordered, the order affected and the date of actual compliance; and

(iv)

whether there is a reason why the pre-trial conference may not be able to proceed on the date fixed for the conference; and

(b) acknowledging that if, at the pre-trial conference:

(i)

a party has not complied with a procedural order set out in the trial notice; or

(ii) the case is not otherwise ready to be set down for trial;

the case will not be set down for trial and orders may be made, including an order for costs against a defaulting party or the defaulting party's lawyer.
