In New Jersey, filing a motion in the Special Civil Part (also known as Special Civil Court) is a process that can be used for a variety of reasons, including a motion to permit discovery, to vacate a dismissal, to vacate a default or default judgment, to amend a complaint, to amend an answer, to amend a judgment, to seek additional discovery, and to enter a judgment out of time. The first step in filing a motion in the Special Civil Part is to fill out the form entitled “Notice of Motion.” This form can be obtained from the court clerk or downloaded from the New Jersey court website. The Notice of Motion must include the name of the court and the case number, the parties involved, the relief requested, and the date and time the motion will be heard. Once the Notice of Motion is completed, the next step is to file it with the court clerk. The clerk will assign a hearing date and provide the parties with a copy of the Notice of Motion. The Notice of Motion needs to be served on all the parties involved in the case. The third step is to prepare a brief, which is a legal document that includes the facts of the case, the legal arguments, and the relief requested. The brief should be filed with the court at least ten days before the hearing and should be served to all the parties involved in the case. Finally, the parties must appear at the hearing and present their arguments to the judge. The judge will consider the facts and the law and will make a ruling on the motion. Depending on the type of motion, the judge may grant the relief requested, deny the motion, or set a date for a further hearing.
