===The hearing===
On the date set for hearing, show up at court at the appointed time. It's especially important for the respondent to attend court because if a respondent doesn't come to court on the date set for the hearing of an interim application, the court may hear the application in the respondent's absence and make the order requested by the applicant.


Interim applications are heard in courtrooms referred to as "chambers".  The chambers courtroom will open at 9:45am. Everyone who is going to be heard that day will line up to the front of the courtroom and sign in with the court clerk, identifying themselves by their names and their number on the court list. The court list will be posted somewhere outside the courtroom, and another copy is usually available in the courtroom. All the applications that are going to be heard that day are listed on this list, but in no particular order. Limited parts of the court lists are posted online for that day only on [https://justice.gov.bc.ca/cso/courtLists.do Court Services Online].
