LOCAL ADMIRALTY RULE D | POSSESSORY, PETITORY, AND PARTITION ACTIONS
Advisory Notes
The rule recognizes the equity in allowing for a prompt resolution in possessory actions. Since a possessory action is brought to reinstate an owner of a vessel alleging wrongful deprivation of property, rather than to allow original possession, the rule permits the Court to expedite these actions, thereby providing a quick remedy for the one wrongfully deprived of his rightful property. See Silver v. Sloop Silver Cloud, 259 F.Supp. 187 (S.D.N.Y. 1966).
Since a petitory and possessory action can be joined to obtain original possession, The Friendship, Fed.Cas. No. 5,123 (CCD Maine, 1855), this rule contemplates that an expedited hearing will only occur in purely possessory actions.
(2010) Amended to conform tabulation to the style used in the federal rules of procedure.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to understand certain local rules to recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers have inflicted upon you (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
As always, please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
