Any number of reasons. Among them; A judge may know the principals in the case or may have some type of legitimate business, professional, or neighborly dealings with the parties involved. If they believe that they either might be biased, or wish to avoid the appearance or suspicion of favoritism of one side over the other, they should probably 'recuse' themselves.

If the Judge believes that he can fairly adjudicate the case, then he certainly may, but most would probably not simply to avoid any appearance of prejudice.

What does this mean Case disposed with disposition of the court finding?

When a case comes to High Court/Supreme Court the case will be first listed and tracked with "Pending" Status,when argument for the case happens and Honorable Judge listens the arguments and feel that he can take a decision on the case then the Judgment Will be reserved and the case will be disposed. The case disposed doesn't mean that it is in favour of the appealed or not it only means that the case has been heard and a judgment has been made.

How long can a civil case be pending in court in Illinois before it is dismissed?

Once a case is filed in court it may remain pending for as long as the case is being actively prosecuted by the parties without regard to any statute of limitations. Statutes of limitation require only that lawsuits be FILED within a certain period of time after the occurrence of the incident that gave rise to the cause of action. Once the case is filed, however, it may remain pending until properly disposed of. If a case is particularly complex and if the particular court system is crowded with other cases, a lawsuit maybe pending in court years after the termination of the limitations period.


What are some reasons a judge might put off a trial hearing for 9 months and change it to a status hearing in a criminal case in Texas?

Only the judge would be able to answer this question. BTW: a "status hearing" has nothing to do with the charges at all, it is only a description of the court procedure involved to review and/or update info on a pending case.


Does 'pending' mean you could have been blocked out individually?

Pending is a synonym for impending, which means about to happen; imminent. Because the word has other senses, it is better to use impending when you mean about to happen. In another sense it means not yet settled. For example, while a judge considers the facts of your lawsuit and before he renders his decision, your case is pending. In another sense, it is a preposition that means until. For example, you may be legally prevented from doing something pending a court's ruling.


What can you say about the judge kill its case?

It is unethical and illegal for a judge to kill a case. Judges are expected to preside over cases impartially and fairly, and any attempt to manipulate the outcome of a case is a violation of judicial ethics and can lead to severe consequences, including removal from the bench. If there are concerns about a judge's behavior in a case, it should be addressed through appropriate legal channels.

Is there a way to find out if someone has a pending dcf case?

In most cases, information about pending DCF (Department of Children and Families) cases is confidential to protect the privacy of the individuals involved. Typically, this information is not readily accessible to the public. If you are directly involved in the case, you may contact DCF directly to inquire about its status.


Should politicians with pending cases in court be elected?

People will have different opinions about this, but ultimately the voters will decide. In my opinion, if a politician has a pending court case, it would be better to have the case settled, and depending on the outcome and what the case was, run at a later date.
