Unanimous Court
Summary
The Court held that 2 R. Stat. § 2228 (mandatory Attorney General mediation in civil suits against government agents) does not toll court proceedings or the counting of time against filing deadlines: "heard" refers to substantive judicial decision-making, not routine administrative tasks like setting deadlines. Accordingly, the trial judge did not abuse discretion in entering default judgment for respondent Nephral after the response deadline passed and mediation had concluded; RSC-CV-2520 affirmed.
