Trial Together of Petitions

The Family Court may order 2 or more petitions against the same respondent to be tried together if the offenses could have been charged in a single petition under SCR-Juvenile 8(a). The Family Court may also order 2 or more petitions against more than 1 respondent to be tried together if the respondents could have been charged in substantially similar petitions under SCR-Juvenile 8(b). COMMENT This Rule allows the Division to order consolidations under the SCR-Juvenile 8 criteria for joinder by the Corporation Counsel.
