Consideration of Reservation

Request by Superior Court If the Superior Court determines that a reserva- tion would be appropriate, it shall forward the res- ervation request with its determination, which shall include the items specified in Section 73-1 (a), to the appellate clerk and to all parties of record. The Supreme Court or Appellate Court shall either preliminarily accept or decline the res- ervation request, but may later reject the reserva- tion if it should appear to have been improvidently granted. The Supreme Court or Appellate Court will not entertain a reservation unless the question or questions presented are reasonably certain to enter into the decision of the case and it appears that their determination would be in the interest of simplicity, directness and judicial economy. The Supreme Court or Appellate Court may also request that the Superior Court provide additional facts required for a decision upon the questions reserved and to clarify such questions when necessary.
