Q: I appeal a circuit court decision pro se. Judgment vacated & remanded 4 further proceedings. What should i do now
I like to know whether i should file a new suit or the entire case filed earlier will continue since the md court of special appeals vacated and remanded the judgment for further proceedings. I will obviously need to hire an attorney going forward. Yet i like to know my available recourse
A: You do not and cannot re-file the suit. The case goes back to the circuit court to address whatever the CSA directed the circuit court to do. Whether that means a retrial of the entire case, or to address a particular issue or determination, depends on what the order for remand says.
A: With a remand for further proceedings, you should not have to do anything. The circuit court will get the case back from appellate court, and the circuit court case will start up again. You should receive notice when that should happen.
