Rule 66 - Condemnation
Rule 66.1 - Filing and Assignment
1. All condemnation cases shall upon filing receive a civil case number and be forwarded to the Presiding Judge for assignment, equally and in rotation within the appropriate venue, to the judges assigned to hear civil cases. Such assignments shall be subject to the provisions of Section 478.461.4 R.S.Mo., and the Court Administrator is directed to keep a record of condemnation filings and to advise the Presiding Judge in writing of any imbalance in the division assignments.
2. Exceptions to a report of the commissioners must be filed in the Department of Civil Records. Each exception shall be filed in a new case file folder and shall receive the original condemnation case number plus a numerical suffix commencing with the number “01” for the first exception filed; provided, however, that all exceptions concerning an individual tract will be filed together in the same case file. Exceptions will remain throughout the proceedings with the judge to which the condemnation action was originally assigned unless reassigned as provided by these rules.
