535.8. Not later than 110 days after service of the summons, a case management conference is held if one of the parties is not represented or if the court has to decide the preliminary exceptions or incidental applications that have not already been presented before it or has to authorize the pre-trial examinations that a party intends to conduct, the expert opinions that a party intends to seek or the number of pages of the application, of the defence or of a witness’s affidavit.
The conference is held at a distance, unless the court requires that it be held in person; the parties are bound to attend if the court requires them to do so.
