On May 17, 2021, a regulation was filed to amend court rules and forms for civil proceedings in the Superior Court of Justice: O. Reg. 343/21, amending the Rules of Civil Procedure.

The regulation amends three rules of the Rules of Civil Procedure to:

-       eliminate the 60-day delay between a party setting down a defended action for trial and the action being placed on the trial list and make consequential amendments to this rule change; and

-       revoke two obsolete provisions regarding the time for trial listing for matters outside Toronto, to reflect existing practice across the province.
