Limited Actions
Limited Action case types are a civil procedure where the dollar amount does not exceed $25,000.00, unless it is an unsecured debt, in which case, it can be any amount.
The Limited Actions Department is responsible for processing an extremely high volume of cases, processing more than 260,000 papers a year.
This involves preparing the weekly docket call for the Limited Actions Judge. The Limited Actions Docket consists of approximately 800 cases per week.
We are then responsible for entering all the minutes from these cases into the court’s case management system. If a case is contested, it is set for pre-trial or court trial if it is a forcible detainer case.
Our office is also responsible for the processing and issuance of all follow-up work on these cases. (i.e. garnishments, aids, citations, bench warrants and writs, etc.
