shortening time

Read a random definition: ordinis beneficium

A quick definition of shortening time:

Shortening time: When someone needs to go to court quickly, they can ask the judge to make a special order to speed things up. This is called "shortening time." It means that the court will let them have a hearing or trial sooner than usual, even if the rules say they have to wait longer. This is only allowed when there's a good reason, like if the trial is coming up soon and they need to get things done quickly.

A more thorough explanation:

Shortening time is a legal term that refers to a court order allowing a motion or other legal matter to be set at a time shorter than what is provided by law or rules of court. This order is made upon the request of a party by filing a motion.

For example, if a local rule requires a party to give the other side ten days' notice before a hearing, but the trial is set to begin in nine days, a court might shorten the time to schedule a hearing to five days, provided the notice is served within 24 hours.

Shortening time is usually granted when the time for trial or some other court action is approaching, and a hearing must be heard promptly by the judge. This means that the court can speed up the legal process to ensure that justice is served in a timely manner.

Another example of shortening time is when a party needs to file an emergency motion, such as a restraining order, and cannot wait for the usual notice period. In such cases, the court may shorten the time for the hearing to ensure that the party's rights are protected.

Overall, shortening time is an important legal tool that allows parties to expedite the legal process when necessary, while still ensuring that all parties have a fair opportunity to be heard.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
