Why this matters
Motion deadlines are calculated backwards from the return date. Missing the service deadline for a motion record can result in the motion being struck or adjourned.
Lawyer review required
Legacy extraction reference — Deadlines computed from the return date (e.g. "7 days before") are labeled Medium confidence. Confirm the return date and calculate the service deadline before exporting.
