What is the maximum trial length for the intermediate track?

• A. 1 day
• B. 2 days
• C. 3 days
• D. 5 days

Answer: (C)

In cases allocated to the intermediate track, the court sets a limit to how long the trial can run to help keep listings efficient. The intermediate track is meant for matters more complex than fast-track cases but not as long or flexible as multi-track cases. Because of that, the standard maximum trial length is three days. If a matter is expected to take longer, it would typically be handled on the multi-track or arranged to be tried in stages or with additional case management directions. Shorter durations, like one or two days, align with faster, simpler matters, while five days would exceed the typical cap for this track and signal a different approach.
