OBA Civil Litigation PROGRAM | Original Program Date: April 25, 2023

In the past two years, litigants in Ontario have seen a steady shift toward summary trials. It is no longer the general rule that summary trials are reserved for simplified procedure matters under Rule 76. Recently, courts have encouraged parties seeking to bring summary judgment motions to resolve their matters by summary trial. As this trend continues, it is critical for advocates to understand the:

  1. Critical differences between summary trials and summary judgment motions;
  2. Correct and incorrect circumstances to request a summary trial;
  3. Best practices for preparing and leading evidence in this abridged process (including how to use CaseLines effectively); and
  4. Strategies for success and managing common pitfalls when conducting a summary trial.


Join our expert faculty as they share their valuable experience and guidance to support your success in summary trials.
