KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Motion
A motion was formerly an oral application made in open court requesting a judge to make a legal order.
Under modern civil procedure, the term has largely been replaced by the word “application” through the Civil Procedure Rules.
Motions were commonly used in earlier court practice for procedural requests and interim orders.
Although the terminology has changed, the underlying function remains similar in modern litigation.
The historical term still appears in older legal cases and procedural discussions.
