Potential Consequences of Doing Nothing
- A missed deadline or incomplete notice, filing, response, appeal, or administrative step can cause default, waiver, dismissal, delay, or loss of a remedy.
- Acting without confirming jurisdiction, authority, coverage, title, exemptions, local rules, and current forms can create cost or additional disputes.
- A settlement, transfer, payment, admission, or loss of evidence before review may materially change available rights and strategy.
