UTCR 6.020: COURT NOTIFICATION ON SETTLEMENT OR CHANGE OF PLEA

(1) In criminal cases, the parties must notify the court immediately of any decision that a case will be dismissed or a change of plea entered.

(2) In all other cases, the parties must immediately notify the court of a decision to settle, dismiss, or otherwise resolve a case. After receipt of the notice, a court may require the parties to put the decision on the record, give written notice to the parties that the case will be dismissed unless an appropriate judgment is tendered to the court within 28 days, or both.

(3) If parties to a civil action fail to notify the court of a settlement before 12:00 p.m. (noon) of the last judicial day preceding a jury trial, or if the case settles after 12:00 p.m. (noon) of such day, the court may assess on one or both parties the per diem fees and mileage costs of bringing in the jury panel for that particular trial.
