Settlement Conference

Joint Request for a Settlement Conference in a Civil Case (January 12, 2022)

THE CONDUCT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND APPEAL DIVISION MATTERS

Tax Assessment Contestation Files

The conduct of tax assessment contestation files is governed by the Regional particularities applicable in the judicial district where the contestation was filed.

Appeals from decisions of the Administrative Housing Tribunal

Applications for leave to appeal from decisions of the Administrative Housing Tribunal are heard during the terms set aside for administrative practice by the regional coordinator and are governed by the Regional particularities applicable.

Once leave to appeal has been granted, the conduct of the appeal falls under the responsibility of the regional coordinator and is governed by Regional particularities applicable.

Other matters

Applications for leave to appeal other than from decisions of the Administrative Housing Tribunal, as well as applications for review of the decision of the minister refusing to extend the delay to object to, or to contest, a tax assessment pursuant to the Tax Administration Act, are heard during terms set aside for administrative practice by the regional coordinator and are governed by the Regional particularities applicable.

Once leave to appeal has been granted in such matters or, where no leave to appeal is required, once the appeal is introduced, the associate coordinating judge responsible for the Administrative and Appeal Division convenes the lawyers and self-represented parties to a calling of the roll or case management conference to ensure the efficient progress of the proceedings or otherwise sees to the application of article 59 of the Regulation of the Court of Québec.
