SB 408 District courts; protective orders, civil cases appealed, notice of docketing.

Introduced by: Ghazala F. Hashmi | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Appeal from district court; protective orders; notice of hearing. Provides that the clerk of the appellate court to which an order of protection is appealed shall have the parties served with notice of the appeal stating the date and time of the hearing and that such a hearing shall not take place unless the appellee has been served or has waived service.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Appeal from district court; civil cases; notice of docketing. Provides that the clerk of the appellate court to which a civil case is appealed shall provide notice of the docketing of such case to the appellee by certified mail and to the counsel for the parties by regular mail. The bill removes language allowing the clerk to provide such notice by posting it on the front door of the courtroom and instead states that notice shall be made in conformity with provisions for notice for service of process in all civil cases.
