Civil Cases

The plaintiff is the person who brings or files the suit. The person who gets sued is the respondent or defendant .

No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.

I have been trying to collect the court ordered child support ordered and with no luck. Now I have filed a contempt of court order and it is due before the judge shortly. Is it possible for him to delay it any longer, or is the appearance before the judge final?

My research can find no such cases as cited in the question. There are many in which INDIVIDUAL plaintiffs are named but none in which the State of Massachussetts is the complainant.

wont' that be an appeal?

Yes they do on sexual harrament&retaliation

not long about 5 years and 12 months and 30 days

Not automatically; you will have to request the court in the other state to recognize it as a judgment and record it. This will not give the defendant the chance to try the lawsuit all over. The only issue is whether the judgment was gotten in accordance with due process of law.

First you must do some legal research to see if you have an actionable case in your jurisdiction. If you find that you do then you must be able to prove damages. You will need to study up on civil process in your local law library to proceed as your own lawyer.

well if you talk about their privacy as in where they live and etc. but not really unless they think it is an invasion of privacy.

Yes and no. If the plaintiff prevails at the trial level and the defendant files a timely appeal, the defendant becomes the "appellant" and the plaintiff is the "appellee". In a particular case, the roles are the same in that each party is arguing the same "side". The plaintiff wants to keep a judgment and the defendant wants the judgment reversed - the same factual record and principles of law will apply. How the court interprets those facts, however, and reviews those principles of law, may be different than it was at the trial court below. For example, findings of fact are reviewed with substantial deference, and will only be reversed for abuse of discretion. Findings of law are reviewed "de novo," which means "like new". In this sense, the roles plaintiff and defendant may have switched because the defendant - as appellant - may be required to show that the lower court judge abused her discretion, and carries the burden of proof for this in the appeal. At trial, the plaintiff carries the burden of proof (usually a preponderance of the evidence). So the plaintiff carries the burden of proof in the underlying case, but the appellant must prove an "error" on appeal.

Sometimes, you will see that, at the trial level, the plaintiff's name is listed first in the case caption, whereas the appellant's name is first in the caption on appeal. For example, if Smith sues Doe, the case name will be Smith v. Doe, and Smith, as the complaining party, will have the burden of proving up her case. If Smith wins at trial and Doe appeals, the case caption may be restyled as Doe v. Smith. Doe is now the "moving party," and has the burden of proving that the trial court erred when it found for Smith. When the evidence is presented at trial, Smith fill go first, followed by Doe. But on appeal, appellant Doe goes first. They both still have the same theories as to underlying liability, but who's "moving" (or asking the court to enter an order in their favor) has reversed.

If it can be proven that a bank is deliberately stalling the foreclosure, attorneys for the owner or condo association can ask for a motion to compel and have the court make the foreclosure immediate. This is happening in current cases where foreclosures drag on for years with no closure.

there must be because for the past six years holland and Knight has dazzled the eighth judicial with there legal jargen and the F.B. I., local lawenforcement and senators agree that as a disabled combat vetran although deception,misrepersentation and perjury,to include wirefraud was comitted no law concerning civil or constitutional rights can be enforced because they are untouchable by law and above the law and all officials agree this is the case except me. does any one else see this as wrong?

The burden usually lies on the plaintiff to prove the elements of their case. However, there is the principal of res ipsa loquitor, which flips the table and requires the defendant to prove they were not negligent.

the majority. all civil cases are tried by a jury unless both parties agree to have the case heard before the judge only.

Probably. In most states, the only way to get a judgment lien on a car is to actually get a writ of execution and have the card seized and auctioned off. The laws of your state may be different.

Considering that he died about 1900 years ago, I certainly hope not.

All complaints against a member of the judicial branch are sent and filled with the state legislature and/or department of justice.

. your and our country well wisher.

If you mean how an individual decision is made by a juror, it is called "A preponderance of the evidence", which means they are more than 50% sure.

If you mean when the opposing sides make an agreement, it is called a settlement.

If you mean the final decision, it is called a judgment.

Hope this helps!

Yes. Adjudication is the legal process to settle a dispute. It is the act of a court, or other arbiter, to hear and settle a case and render a decision, order, judgment, or decree.

If a judge has not signed court documents yet, they are not legally in use yet. Court documents are not legal until all parties and the judge have signed off on them.
