Rules of the Court on the Judiciary
Chapter 1, App. 7
Trial Division
Rule 18. Failure to Present Motion or Demurrer; Exceptions and Objections.

If any motion or demurrer is not presented for hearing when called, the Court, in his discretion, may dismiss, continue or rule upon it. Formal exceptions to rulings or orders of the Court shall not be necessary but it shall be sufficient that a party, at the time the ruling or order of the Court made or sought, make known to the Court the action which he desires the Court to take or his objections to the action of the Court and his grounds therefor. Where a party refuses to argue a motion or demurrer filed by him, or to make known his objection to the action of the Court and his grounds therefor, the Court should note such refusal and the facts surrounding the same either in the record or the order of the Court, so that such facts may be brought to the attention of an appellate court on review. Motions or demurrers not contested may be disposed of by announcements without the necessity of all counsel appearing.

In any matter taken under advisement by the Court, the presiding judge or the clerk of the Court shall notify counsel of the ruling made.

Adopted by Order NO. C.J.T.D.-2 on December 28, 1966, effective January 1, 1967.
