What is the filing period for a notice of motion when leave to appeal is required?

The filing period for a notice of motion when leave to appeal is required is indeed 15 days after the making of the order. This aligns with the court rules that govern appeals in Ontario.

When an order is made by a court and a party wishes to appeal it but leave to appeal is required, the relevant rules set a specific timeline for initiating that appeal process. This requirement ensures that the appeal is pursued in a timely manner, which is essential for maintaining the efficiency and integrity of the judicial system. The 15-day period allows the parties to adequately prepare their motion for leave to appeal, thereby enabling the court to consider the appeal promptly.

This period is different from other timeframes noted in the options, which do not apply to situations where leave is a prerequisite for appeal. For instance, the 30-day period typically pertains to standard appeals where leave is not required, and the 7-day period could refer to specific types of application matters within civil proceedings. Hence, adhering to the 15-day rule is crucial when leave to appeal must be sought, establishing a clear timeline that parties must follow.
