[Trisha Clark]

We're seeking a continuance on a hearing set for monday (27th). As of this morning, still no responsive declaration. (That's not the reason for the continuance.) Do we have any recourse other than objecting to its introduction at the time of hearing?

This isn't the first time we've been served with a RD at the last minute (usually on our way into the court room)

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

Yes, you can ask for monetary sanctions due to the "delaying tactic" and your inability to prepare for the hearing.

Also, it depends greatly upon your judge's temperment. Some are sticklers for court rules, and the controlling statutes, while others are very lax. So, there's really no way to determine your success of failure with an objection or sanctions.

Good luck.
