A legal
motion is a procedural device in law to bring a limited, contested
matter before a court for decision. Motion a formal request made
to a judge for an order or judgment.
Motions are made in court all the time for many purposes: to continue
(postpone) a trial to a later date, to get a modification of an
order, for temporary child support, for a judgment, for dismissal
of the opposing party's case, for a rehearing, for sanctions (payment
of the moving party's (person making the motion) costs or attorney's
fees), or for dozens of other purposes.
Most motions require a written petition, a written brief of legal
reasons for granting the motion (often called "points and authorities"),
written notice to the attorney for the opposing party and a hearing
before a judge. However, during a trial or a hearing, an oral motion
may be permitted.
A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging, usually
on a short-term basis. Hotels often provide a number of additional
guest services such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare.
Some hotels have conference services and meeting rooms and encourage
groups to hold conventions and meetings at their location. |
