Submission Date

  • Filing date: Generally you must lodge the Notice of Motion at least 14 days before the hearing date you propose, unless the judge grants a shorter or longer period.
  • Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
  • Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.
