As amended through October 22, 2024
When a matter has been set on the trial docket and one party obtains leave to amend the pleadings, or to file an answer and counterclaim, and the opposite party is not prepared to proceed upon the issues raised in the pleadings, the court may grant the opposing party's motion for a continuance, and the court may award expenses caused by the delay, unless good cause be shown for the delay.
