My latest paper, with co-authors, is now on SSRN. Using a newly developed dataset of all federal civil filings between 2016-2017 we show that in 60% of cases there were no dispositive motions filed, another 10% exit the system, leaving only 30% of cases with a dispositive motion filed. We explore some explanations for why this might be, and consider what it means for theories of civil litigation.

Understanding Order 7 Rule 11: When Can You File for Rejection of Plaint? Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, is a crucial tool in civil litigation. It allows the defendant to file an application for rejection of the plaint at various stages of a civil suit. A client recently asked, "At what stages can we file this application?" The answer is straightforward: an application under Order 7 Rule 11 can be filed at any stage of the suit, even before the framing of issues or during the trial. The key grounds for such an application include: 1. Failure to disclose a cause of action:- The plaint must clearly indicate a cause of action. 2. Suit barred by law:-If the suit is barred by any law, it can be rejected. 3. Underpayment or non-payment of court fees:- The plaint must be properly valued and the requisite court fees paid. 4. Plaint not filed in duplicate:- As required under Order 4 Rule 1 of the CPC. 5. Relief claimed undervalued:-If the relief claimed is undervalued and the plaintiff, despite the court's direction, fails to correct it. Filing an application for rejection of the plaint can save time and resources by preventing frivolous or non-maintainable suits from proceeding. #LegalKnowledge #CivilProcedure #Order7Rule11 #LawPractice #Litigation
