Court Adopts ‘Housekeeping’ Amendment

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Feb 1, 2023

The Tennessee Supreme Court issued an order today adopting what it called a “housekeeping” amendment to Rule 11, Section III regarding cases under advisement. The new language, which takes effect immediately, reads as follows: "No case may be held under advisement in excess of sixty days and no motion, or other decision of the trial judge that delays the date of trial or final disposition in the trial court, shall be held under advisement for more than thirty days, absent the most compelling of reasons. A motion to render decision setting out the facts said to constitute a failure to comply with this rule may be filed with the presiding judge and the circuit justice, or either of them, by any attorney of record in a case, setting out the facts said to constitute a failure to comply with this rule."
