ORDER

IN RE: Authorization for the Rules of Practice for the Jefferson

County Business Court Docket Pilot Project

By Order dated April 9, 2019, the Kentucky Supreme Court authorized a

pilot project for the implementation of a Business Court Docket in Jefferson

Circuit Court. The Business Court Docket is dedicated to the expedited and

cost-effective resolution of assigned disputes involving business entities and

affiliated persons.

The following Rules of Practice supplement the Kentucky Rules of Civil

Procedure and the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the 30th Judicial Circuit,

Jefferson Circuit Court, and should be construed consistent with this purpose.

The Rules (to be cited as the Business Court Docket Rules of Practice, “BCR _”)

shall apply to matters with proper venue in Jefferson Circuit Court and

assigned to the Business Court Docket beginning January 1, 2020.

Nothing shall preclude the other divisions of Jefferson Circuit Court from

using these Rules of Practice to resolve matters that are not otherwise eligible

for the Business Court Docket.
