What is the name of your state? mississippi
In the process of collecting a debt, a collectors' case was continued four times before judgement, at least twice by the court clerk. My question is; Is there a standard whereby justice court judges and clerks have limitations in continuing cases? The issue of improperly continuing cases has come up in Mississippi. I've been told by some that certain factors may be involved, and from others that there is no legal standard except judges'/clerks' discretion. Can a judge/clerk be held accountable for continuing a case too many times if there is such a thing? Where is the canon/law for such a precedent? Thank you.
