Rule 6-1444 Rules not jurisdictional.

These rules are meant to help cases run smoothly, but they are not requirements that decide whether a court has the power to hear a case. If someone doesn't follow one of these rules exactly, it does not make the whole court proceeding invalid or illegal.

In simple terms, missing a small procedural detail won't get a case thrown out on its own. The court still has authority to hear and decide the matter, even if a rule wasn't followed perfectly. These rules are guidelines for how cases should be handled, not strict conditions that determine whether the court can act at all.
