Summary
In Ontario, the Law Society oversees legal professionals but does not provide direct legal advice. Self-represented litigants can access various resources. If a defendant fails to file a defense within 20 days (or 40 days if served outside Ontario), the plaintiff can seek a default judgment. Parties can agree to extend the filing time or request a court order. Including a request for an extension in your motion can be pertinent, especially if you provide a valid reason.Full Conversation

Thank you for providing the details.
In Ontario, if a defendant fails to file a defense after being served with a claim, the plaintiff can request a default judgment. Here are some key points:
- **Default Judgment**: If the defendant does not respond within 20 days (or 40 days if served outside Ontario), the plaintiff can seek a default judgment.
- **Rules of Civil Procedure**: Govern the process and timelines for filing claims and defenses.
Is there a specific aspect of this process you need more information on?
legal advice stated to give another * added days to be fair instead of judgement
Thank you for providing detailed information. In Ontario, the Rules of Civil Procedure generally govern timelines for filing claims and defenses. However, extending the time for a defense beyond the standard 20 days can be done by agreement between parties or by court order.
Key Points:

- **Extending Time**: Parties can agree to extend the time for filing a defense, or it can be extended by court order.
