Rule 18. Definitions
b. “Ex parte communications” are communications between a litigant or its attorney and a judge, without including the opposing party. Ex parte communications are generally prohibited. However, a communication with a judge in open court on a date and at a time when all litigants have been notified that the issue will be addressed is not an ex parte communication.
d. “Good cause” shall mean a stated, substantial reason, the accommodation of which will serve the interests of fairness and justice, without also causing a significant delay or harm to another party. Good cause may include relieving a person from the consequences of a mistake or inadvertence, but not from simple neglect.
