(cf SCR Part 26, rule 1)
The court may, at any time and from time to time, give such directions and
make such orders for the conduct of any proceedings as appear convenient
(whether or not inconsistent with these rules or any other rules of court) for
the just, quick and cheap disposal of the proceedings.
Note--: See also the guiding principles in relation to the conduct of court proceedings (set out in Division 1 of Part 6 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 ) and the general powers of the court to give directions (set out in Division 2 of that Part).
