Friday Motions Day Response Opposition To Motion {CCR-E-20}

CCR-E-20 - FRIDAY MOTIONS DAY - RESPONSE/OPPOSITION TO MOTION. This form is used in Fairfax County Circuit Court for responding to a motion filed by another party in a civil case. It allows the responding party (either the plaintiff or defendant) to formally oppose a motion that has been scheduled for a hearing on a Friday Motions Day. The form requires the responding party to specify the motion being opposed, provide their name and contact details, and indicate the date and estimated duration of the hearing. The responding party must also certify that they have attempted to resolve the issue with the opposing party before seeking court intervention, in compliance with Virginia Supreme Court Rule 4:15(e). Additionally, the form includes a Certificate of Service, which confirms that a copy of the response has been properly delivered to all other parties in the case via mail, fax, or personal delivery. The instructions clarify deadlines and procedural requirements. For "Two Week Motions," responses must be filed by 4:00 p.m. on the Friday before the hearing. If the response exceeds five double-spaced pages, parties must arrange a Briefing Schedule with the Calendar Control Judge. The court also provides conciliation procedures to encourage dispute resolution before the hearing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
