Provisional relief and the right to jury trial Flashcard Deck - 9 Cards

Flashcard 1: What specific conditions must be met for a federal court to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) without notice to the adverse party?

Answer: A court may issue an ex parte TRO only if: 1) specific facts in an affidavit or verified complaint clearly show immediate and irreparable injury before the adverse party can be heard; AND 2) the movant’s attorney certifies in writing efforts made to give notice and reasons why it should not be required.

Flashcard 2: When must a party demand a jury trial in federal court, and what is the consequence of failing to do so?

Answer: A party must demand a jury in writing no later than 14 days after the last pleading directed to the issue is served. Failure to timely demand generally waives the jury right, although the court may grant a jury trial on motion if no substantial prejudice results.

Flashcard 3: What is the required basis for factual contentions under Rule 11(b)?

Answer: Factual contentions must have evidentiary support, or, if specifically identified, be likely to have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

Flashcard 4: What is the heightened pleading standard for allegations of fraud or mistake under federal rules?

Answer: Under Rule 9(b), a party alleging fraud or mistake must state with particularity the circumstances constituting fraud or mistake (the who, what, when, where, and how). However, malice, intent, knowledge, and other conditions of a person’s mind may be alleged generally.

Flashcard 5: Under what circumstances may a party amend its pleading once as a matter of course?

Answer: A party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course within 21 days after serving it, or if a responsive pleading is required, within 21 days after service of a responsive pleading or a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is earlier. (Rule 15(a)(1))

Flashcard 6: What is the primary purpose of a Rule 11 sanction, and what is its key limitation?

Answer: The primary purpose of a Rule 11 sanction is to deter repetition of the conduct or comparable conduct. It is limited to what suffices for deterrence and is not automatically compensatory or punitive.

Flashcard 7: What is the 'safe harbor' provision under Rule 11 for a motion for sanctions?

Answer: A party moving for Rule 11 sanctions must serve the motion on the opposing party but not file it with the court for 21 days. This allows the offending party to withdraw or correct the challenged paper, avoiding sanctions.

Flashcard 8: What are the two requirements for permissive joinder of parties under Rule 20?

Answer: The claims must arise out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences; and the claims must present at least one common question of law or fact.

Flashcard 9: What are the four practical elements required for intervention of right under Rule 24(a)?

Answer: Timeliness, a qualifying interest, possible impairment of that interest, and inadequate representation by existing parties.
