As amended through October 11, 2024

Rule 86 - Effective Dates

(a) IN GENERAL. These rules and any amendments take effect at the time specified by the Chief Judge in promulgation orders. They govern:

(1) proceedings in an action commenced after their effective date; and

(2) proceedings after that date in an action then pending unless:

(A) the Chief Judge in the promulgation orders specifies otherwise; or

(B) the court determines that applying them in a particular action would be infeasible or work an injustice.

(b) [Omitted.]

Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 86

COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS

This rule differs from the federal rule, as amended in 2007, by substituting the phrase "Chief Judge in the promulgation orders" for "Supreme Court." Also, the statutory reference to the United States Code and section (b) of the federal rule are omitted as inapplicable.
