Summary
Removal to circuit court. Standardizes the removal of cases from district court to circuit court. Among other things, the bill removes term "affidavit of substantial defense" and replaces it with motions and requires a hearing on the motion to remove. The application of the simplified admission of medical records is extended to all cases removed to circuit court, not just those where the claim does not exceed the jurisdictional amount set forth in 17.1-77. This bill is a recommendation of the Boyd-Graves Conference. View Full Text »
