When dealing with cases under res sub judice, legal teams should adopt best practices to ensure fairness and minimize legal risks. First, they should thoroughly research whether the issue is already being litigated in another court to avoid violating the res sub judice rule. This can be done by carefully tracking the case’s progress and ensuring no parallel cases are filed. Secondly, they should maintain clear communication with the court and all involved parties to ensure that no action is taken that could be seen as reopening or duplicating the same matter. Legal teams should also ensure all filings are timely and properly documented, presenting arguments and evidence only in the court where the case is being heard. Additionally, they must advise clients on the potential consequences of pursuing legal actions outside the jurisdiction of the ongoing case. By adhering to these practices, legal teams can minimize the risk of procedural errors, avoid conflicts of jurisdiction, and uphold the integrity of the judicial process, ensuring fairness for all parties involved.
