During the case · For the both
After the answer, Supreme Court cases move to a preliminary conference where the judge sets a discovery schedule. Motions can be made at many stages.
The court sets dates for documents, depositions and the note of issue. Missing these dates can bring sanctions.
Parties exchange documents and take depositions. Electronic records — emails, texts, bank statements — are often decisive.
Motions to dismiss, compel discovery and for summary judgment shape the case. Orders to show cause are used for urgent relief.
