TITLE 9 CIVIL PRACTICE

Section 10. Civil Practice and Procedure Generally, 9-10-1 through 9-10-204.

ARTICLE 8 ARGUMENT AND CONDUCT OF COUNSEL

9-10-181. Extension of time limit for argument after application therefor.

If counsel on either side, before argument begins, applies to the court for extension of the time prescribed for argument and states in his place or on oath, in the discretion of the court, that he or they cannot do the case justice within the time prescribed and that it will require for that purpose additional time, stating how much additional time will be necessary, the court shall grant such extension of time as may seem reasonable and proper.

(Ga. L. 1924, p. 75, § 4; Code 1933, § 81-1008.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Extension erroneously denied.

- In a personal injury case, the trial court erred in denying, under Ga. Unif. Super. Ct. R. 13.2, the injured party's request for an extension of time for closing argument because the request was timely and was authorized by O.C.G.A. § 9-10-181, which took precedence over the rule. Rouse v. Polott, 274 Ga. App. 226, 617 S.E.2d 185 (2005).
