Read a random definition: well-pleaded complaint

A quick definition of short-cause calendar:

A short-cause calendar is a list of court cases that are scheduled for a trial within 10 days after the opposing party is given notice. The trial must not take longer than a specified period, usually an hour. It helps to speed up the legal process and resolve cases quickly.

A more thorough explanation:

A short-cause calendar is a type of trial calendar used in courts. It is a list of cases that can be scheduled for a trial within a short period of time, usually 10 days after the opposing party is given notice. The request for scheduling must include an affidavit that the trial will take no longer than a certain specified period, such as an hour.

For example, if a plaintiff wants to schedule a short-cause trial, they must give notice to the defendant and file a request with the court. If the court approves the request, the trial will be scheduled within 10 days. This type of calendar is useful for resolving disputes quickly and efficiently.

Other types of calendars include:

  • Court calendar: A list of civil or criminal cases in a court.
  • Special calendar: A calendar marked with court cases that have been specially set for hearing or trial.
  • Consent calendar: A list of business awaiting a deliberative assembly's vote that is not expected to be substantially opposed and is therefore scheduled for a vote without debate.
  • Debate calendar: The list of business that is awaiting a deliberative assembly's vote and that is not on the consent calendar.

These calendars help to organize and prioritize cases or business for a court or deliberative assembly.
