New Court of King’s Bench Practice Directive – February 10, 2025

Immediately Advise the Trial Coordinator when Actions Resolve

In order to maximize the court’s ability to offer timely trial dates, it is important that the trial coordinator be advised as soon as possible that an action scheduled for trial is resolved. As such, when an action set for trial resolves, in addition to filing a notice of discontinuance or judgment dismissing, please immediately advise the trial coordinator that the related trial dates may be released.

All King’s Bench notices and practice directives can be found here.
