Does the length of rejoinder matters in Court ?

Guest (Querist) 21 August 2010 This query is : Resolved
Our petition for eviction consisted 11 pages,reply of the tenant was of 13 pages,mine advocate prepared the rejoinder of 13 pages,I re prepared it and it became of 30 pages.
Mine advocate says that,no doubt I have given logical answers to the opponent raised in his reply but length of our rejoinder may go against us,Nobody reads the whole rejoinder so only major points be emphasized and the rejoinder should be shortened.

Is he right,any suggestions please?

Thnx in advance.

Yes. He is absolutely right. If your rejoinder is lengthy,it will not be read at all. Be short and specific to the merits of your claim . Make the judge read your rejoinder. That is good advocacy,

Yes , Mr. S Subramaniam is right to say and your Adv is also correct.

Agreed with Subarmaniam Sir.What is important is not the contents of the plaints but the substance and it is the substance that will take into consideration by the Judge.

Contents & not the volume, is important.

rejoinder can be only based on the reply by the other party. Your advocate is right and rejoinder needs no explanation which we stated in the main petition
