Client comments from the June Quiz of the Month
We have periodically
received valuable insight from clients in relation to the questions we
present along with the answers. In the past we would make note of these
comments for future questions and answers, but last week caused a wonderful
flurry. With the permission of the clients we would like to mention a couple
of them which we feel would be helpful to you. Please keep the comments
coming and as always we will check with you before we post any comments to
get your approval along with asking if you would like to remain anonymous.
*As a token of our
appreciation we will forward a CourtAlert coffee mug to anyone that
provides any helpful comments from our Quiz of the Month. Thank you once
again for any insight that will make clients of CourtAlert always a step
ahead of others.
Comments
Unfortunately, in some
counties (not New York)
settle order decisions are routinely sent down to the county clerk for
entry. That is one of the reasons
you better attach the decision to your proposed order. This is not necessary in New York County where the settle order clerk
holds the decision and motion papers until the proposed order and perhaps
counter-order arrives.
You may wish to mention
in the summary of settled orders that you cannot serve by Fedex (overnight
delivery)as that is not recognized by the statute. You can only serve by hand or by US Mail
as Unified Court
Rule Section 202.48 does not provide for service by Fedex and therefore the
court does not recognize it when you are settling an order.
We are Committed to Remain the Best!
Thanks,
