This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
This rule has been repealed, which means it is no longer in effect. It used to contain instructions or requirements for cases in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, but those rules have been removed and no longer apply.
If you are looking at older documents or case files that reference Rule 178, the information there is outdated. Courts and attorneys will not use this rule for current cases. Instead, you should check the current version of the Rules Governing the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands to see what rules apply now, or ask a legal professional for guidance on what replaced it, if anything.
If you're working on a legal matter and see a reference to this rule, treat it as a sign to look further. Find out what current rule, if any, covers the same topic, since court procedures often get renumbered or reorganized over time.
