Full Text of § 6-1430

Text size

A receipt specifying the exhibits withdrawn shall be filed in the case by the party withdrawing them. Exhibits destroyed or otherwise disposed of will be accounted for by a statement prepared and filed by the custodian showing the date such action was taken and the date notice of intention to do so was given to the attorneys of record or self-represented litigants.

Amendment History

§ 6-1430 amended June 9, 2021, effective January 1, 2022.

Plain-English Summary

Sections 6-1428 and 6-1429 describe how exhibits get claimed, returned, or eventually destroyed. Section 6-1430 makes sure each of those events leaves a record. When a party withdraws exhibits, that party files a receipt specifying exactly which exhibits were taken.

When exhibits are instead destroyed or otherwise disposed of, the custodian prepares and files a statement accounting for that outcome. That statement has to show the date the destruction or disposal happened and the date notice of that intention was given to the attorneys of record or self-represented litigants. Together, the receipt and the statement mean the case file always reflects what became of every exhibit, rather than leaving gaps once the physical items themselves are gone.
