An application that will take longer than two hours must be scheduled with the trial coordinator at the court registry, and a hearing date may not be available for several weeks. Applications that will take less than two hours are heard on a day picked by the applicant, although it's always best if the applicant picks the date in consultation with the application respondent.

Note that the shorter an application is, the more likely it is to be heard sooner rather than later on the day of hearing. There could be three applications set to be heard in chambers on a particular day or there could be thirty. The court clerk will generally sort the applications in order of the time estimates, so that a five-minute application will be heard fairly quickly while a ninety-minute application might not be heard until much later in the day.
