<\/span>Understanding Date Of Hearing In Court Proceedings<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a case is filed in any court, it takes considerable time for the case to conclude. It is usual parlance for courts to fix dates for taking up next steps in the matter, and such dates fixed by the courts are referred to as \u201cdate of hearing”. While each date of hearing may not necessarily mean that the date is fixed for purposes of final adjudication, in fact it may be either for procedural compliances, recording evidence, presentation of arguments or even a simple adjournment. Based on the next steps to be taken up in a matter and what transpires in the court, a \u201cdate of hearing\u201d can be further classified into \u201ceffective date of hearing\u201d and \u201cineffective date of hearing\u201d.<\/p>
