SUPERIOR COURT DEADLINES EXTENDED

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
ORDER
(Amended 11/05/20)

By Order issued on March 18, 2020, and reaffirmed on May 29, 2020, the Joint Committee of Judicial Administration authorized the Chief Judge to issue orders extending the period during which deadlines are suspended, tolled, and extended for all statutory and rules-based time limits in the D.C. Code, and the Superior Court Rules, during the current judicial emergency and consistent with the best interest of the administration of justice...

​Chief Judge ordered that (except as otherwise specified) all deadlines and time limits in statutes, court rules, and standing and other orders issued by the Court that would otherwise expire before June 19, 2020 including statutes of limitations, are suspended, tolled, and extended during the period of the current judicial emergency. As indicated in that order, the deadlines and time limits may be further suspended, tolled, and extended as circumstances change. Suspension, tolling, and extension will continue to the extent specified in this Order until at least January 15, 2021. The Court will provide at least 60 days’ notice before ending all suspension, tolling, and extension of deadlines.
The Court is expanding the types and number of cases it will hear through January 15, 2021.
