A:
If you have filed an amended opposition to the defendant's demurrer, you generally do not need a separate hearing. The court can consider your amended opposition at the already scheduled hearing for the demurrer to the amended complaint. This means that the hearing date remains the same, and both parties can address the updated arguments at that time.
It's important to ensure that your amended opposition is filed and served according to the court's deadlines and procedural rules. This gives the defendant adequate time to review your amendments before the hearing. Missing any deadlines might result in the court not considering your amended opposition.
You might want to check with the court clerk or review the local court rules to confirm that no additional steps are required. Staying informed about procedural requirements can help prevent any delays or issues in your case. If you have further questions, seeking clarification can be helpful.
