I'd say however the most common practice is for the court to make a determination regarding issuing temporary orders based solely on the papers. Speak with a local attorney... Read more »

What are the maximum amount of losses if I lost a civil court case? What is the maximum amount of money that I need to put in, for a civil court case?

The eviction will then be heard de novo by the court court on an expedited basis.... Read more »
