Notice of intent to rely on certifications in lieu of live testimony or to present voluminous records in summary form, are also encouraged, where parties think appropriate. Adverse parties are likewise encouraged to move to strike any notice of intent they believe defective or otherwise legally insufficient. In order to preserve available remedies for all parties and the efficient use of trial time, the Court encourages all the above to be set on motion calendar or special-set well in advance of trial.
