Civil and Family Case Management involves the appointment of a Case Management Justice under Rule 4.13 and takes place over a longer period of time, typically continuing until the issues in dispute between the parties have been resolved through settlement or at trial. Case Management may involve identifying issues, discussing resolution, making interim and procedural rulings, and creating and facilitating a litigation plan to move the matter to settlement or trial.
Section 551.1 (1) of the Criminal Code allows the Chief Justice or designate judge to appoint a Case Management Judge if the Chief Justice or designate judge are of the opinion that it is necessary for the proper administration of justice.
