Rule 3.7 - Pre-Trial Conference(a) In any action, the court, on its own motion or on motion of any party, may direct that a pre-trial conference be held to consider:1. The clarification of issues;2. The necessity or desirability of pleadings and/or amendments thereto;3. The possibility of obtaining admissions of fact and of documents which will avoid unnecessary proof;4. The limitation of the number of expert witnesses;5. The advisability of a preliminary reference of issues to a master for findings to be used as evidence when the trial is to be by jury; or6. Such other matters as may aid in the disposition of the action.(b) The court may make an order reciting the action at the conference, the amendments allowed to the pleadings, the agreements made by the parties as to any of the matters considered and limit the issues for trial to those not disposed of by agreements or admissions of the attorneys. Such order when entered shall control the subsequent cause of action, unless modified at the trial to prevent manifest injustice.
