Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Disposal of exhibits in civil cases. Provides that the notice from a clerk of court to an owner or attorney prior to the disposal or donation of exhibits used in a concluded civil case may be made by first class mail rather than certified mail, return receipt requested. The bill also provides that the exhibits may be donated or destroyed if a contrary response to the notice is not received by the clerk within 21 days of the mailing of the notice, rather than receipt as under current law. Finally, the bill requires that the clerk wait until the time to request a rehearing has expired before destroying or donating the exhibits. Currently, the clerk must wait until the time for filing an appeal has expired.
