SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Notice of prior nonsuits. Provides that a party who seeks to take a nonsuit in any cause of action or claim shall inform the court concerning whether the action has been previously nonsuited and further requires that any court order granting a subsequent nonsuit must include language reflecting the date of any previous nonsuits and the courts in which they were taken. This bill also provides that a court can only allow nonsuits, in addition to the one nonsuit allowed as a matter of right in subsection B of § 8.01-380, upon giving reasonable notice to counsel of record for all defendants and upon making reasonable attempts to contact any unrepresented parties.
