Schedule a directions hearing without retyping party and counsel details

Parties in reference or similar proceedings repeat court file references, party identities, and counsel contacts on every Form 55A notice of hearing for directions under the Rules of Civil Procedure. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Ontario Superior Court of Justice — ontariocourts.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): FORM 55A - Court of Justice Act. Notice of Hearing for Directions — rcp-55a

What this form is about

Form rcp-55a is Form 55A — Notice of Hearing for Directions under the Courts of Justice Act and Rules of Civil Procedure — confirm when it applies and service requirements on ontariocourts.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Notifying party legal name and address.
• Other party names and addresses.
• Notifying counsel name, firm, address, and contacts.
• Court file number, hearing date, and directions sought — prepare with counsel.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.
