§ 11-13. Short Calendar--Need for List; Case Assigned for Trial; Reclaims

(a)Unless otherwise provided in these rules or ordered by the judicial authority, questions as to the terms or form of a decree or judgment to be rendered on the report of a committee or of auditors, or on an award of arbitrators, foreclosures where the only question is as to the time to be limited for redemption, all motions and objections to requests when practicable, and all issues of law must be placed on the short calendar list. No motions will be heard which are not on said list and ought to have been placed thereon; provided that any motion in a case on trial, or assigned for trial, may be disposed of by the judicial authority at its discretion, or ordered upon the short calendar list on terms, or otherwise.

(b)Whenever a short calendar matter or reclaim slip is filed in a case which has been assigned for trial, the filing party shall place the words “assigned for trial” on the bottom of the first page of the document and on any short calendar reclaim slip. The moving party at a short calendar hearing shall, when applicable, inform the judicial authority that the case has been assigned for trial.

(c)If a motion has gone off the short calendar without being adjudicated any party may claim the motion for adjudication. If an objection to a request has gone off the short calendar without being adjudicated, the party who filed the request may claim the objection to the request for adjudication. If a case is on the docket management list, any party may claim any motion or objection for adjudication when the motion or objection must be resolved to close the pleadings.
