Defence: What am I supposed to or what form am I supposed to submit to the court after my reply to defense to advance my case?

Karin Turner, Your trusted HR/Employment Law Consultant. ER/ADA answered:

While I cannot give legal advice, I can provide you with the following helpful procedural tips:

1. Check your local court rules or ask the clerk:
Different courts have specific procedures and forms, so it’s important to verify what exactly is needed. Commonly, the next steps might include:
Request for Case Management Conference (CMC) or Pre-Trial Conference:
This is a hearing where the court sets deadlines, discusses discovery, and schedules trial dates.
Notice of Motion or Application:
If you want the court to make a ruling on something (e.g., summary judgment, or compelling discovery), you file a motion.
Request for Trial Setting or Trial Readiness:
You may need to file a form notifying the court you are ready to proceed to trial.
2. Typical form names or filings after reply to defense:
Case Management Statement / Conference Form
Request for Pre-Trial Conference
Notice of Readiness for Trial
Motion for Summary Judgment or Default Judgment (if applicable)
3. If settlement efforts failed:
Inform the court that settlement was attempted but unsuccessful (sometimes this can be noted in your Case Management Statement).
Proceed with scheduling the next steps toward trial.
What you should do now:
Contact the court clerk or check the court’s website for the exact forms and instructions.
File a Case Management Statement (or equivalent) to move the case forward.
Prepare for the Case Management Conference (if scheduled).
Continue gathering evidence and preparing your case.

Happy to help further.
