(P.B. 1998.) (Amended June 14, 2024, to take effect Jan. 1, 2025.)
Plain-English Summary
A short scheduling rule with a purpose: the hearing on a motion to strike is held not less than fifteen days after the motion is filed, unless the judicial authority directs otherwise. That interval is what makes the memorandum requirement in Section 25-19 workable, since an objecting party has to file its own memorandum before the motion is considered.
