Rule 10-2 Ready List

(a) All actions ready for trial in accordance with OCGA § 9-11-40 shall be placed upon a list of actions ready for trial to be maintained as a "ready list" by the Clerk. A case shall be presumed ready for trial after the filing of the pre-trial order.

(b) The Judge shall place actions ready for trial on the ready list and shall notify parties of the same. Except for cause and as provided in section (c) of this rule, the Judge shall place actions on the ready list by order of the age of the action.

(c) If an action is already on the ready list, it shall retain its superior position over new actions unless a new action is entitled by statute to a superior position.
