The certificate must be filed at least seven (7) days in advance of Trial Assignment, or seven (7) days in advance of hearing or trial if the case is retained by an individual judge. If the certificate has not been filed (or the requirement waived) on an issue scheduled for hearing or trial, the parties may be deemed not ready to proceed to hearing. Other penalties for failure to comply with SLR 8.017 may include, but are not limited to delay of trial or hearing date, dismissal of case, or refusal of the court to allow a party to present evidence at the trial or hearing. Even if the parties have failed to participate in mediation, the court in its sole discretion may proceed to trial if it determines it is in the best interest of the parties to proceed.Clackamas Supp. L.
