Short Cause
SHORT CAUSE
A legal matter that will not take up a significant amount of the time of the court and may be entered on the list of short causes upon application of one of the parties, where it will be dealt with more expediently than it would be in its regular order.
The time permitted for a short cause, which is also known as a short calendar, varies from one court to another.
