Following a meeting held to manage a legal action, several actions typically ensue. These actions are directly influenced by the directions and agreements established during the meeting. For example, deadlines for discovery may be set, motions may be scheduled, or settlement discussions might be initiated based on the agreements reached. These steps are crucial to progress the case toward resolution.
The significance of these subsequent steps lies in their role in structuring and organizing the progress of litigation. Proper adherence to the agreed-upon schedule and tasks ensures efficiency, reduces delays, and provides all parties with a clear roadmap for the remaining stages of the case. Historically, the formalization of such procedures has been implemented to curb unnecessary litigation costs and promote more equitable outcomes.
