As soon as an application, together with the accompanying particulars and statement herein prescribed has been lodged, the Clerk of the Court shall forthwith cause a copy thereof to be served upon the respondent in manner prescribed by regulation, together with a notice requiring the respondent to lodge with the Clerk of the Court such answers as is prescribed in subsection (2) within the period therein prescribed and that in default of his complying with that or of his appearing at a time and place fixed in the notice, such order may be made under this Law as a Judge thinks just and expedient. Except with the written consent of the respondent communicated to the Clerk of the Court, not less than twenty-one clear days shall elapse between the date of the service of the notice upon the respondent and the date fixed for hearing the application.
If the respondent intends to oppose an application he shall, within fourteen days after service of notice or within such extended period as a Judge may upon special request allow, lodge with the Clerk of the Court a written answer containing a concise statement of the extent and grounds of his opposition.
A Judge may, at any time before the determination of the question in dispute and upon such terms as to adjournment or as to costs as he deems just, allow an application, or any particular or statement accompanying the same, or any answer thereto, to be amended. Any such amendment shall be lodged with the Clerk of the Court who shall forthwith cause it to be served upon the opposite party in manner prescribed by regulation.
