Requires a detailed determination in orders determining a motion
This bill requires judges to provide detailed written explanations when ruling on motions in civil cases, removing the previous discretion to decide how much detail to include. It mandates that orders determining motions be made within specific timeframes - 20 days for provisional remedies and 60 days for other motions - and must explicitly state the court, judge, date, and the papers considered. The change applies to all courts except town and village courts, ensuring parties receive clearer reasoning for judicial decisions on their legal requests.
