The applicant father sought an urgent case conference regarding access to the parties' 5 ½ year old child, which the respondent mother disputed as urgent or pressing.
The court dismissed the motion, finding no evidence of prior settlement discussions, which was deemed a precondition for such urgent requests during the COVID-19 suspension of regular court operations.
The decision reiterated the test for urgency and pressing issues, emphasizing the need for immediate, serious, definite, and particularized concerns, and diligent settlement efforts.
