When managing a case under res sub judice, legal teams should take several key steps to ensure they follow the right procedural path and avoid legal pitfalls. First, they must confirm that the matter is indeed under consideration by a court, ensuring there are no active parallel proceedings in other courts, which could violate the res sub judice rule. Second, they should monitor the progress of the case closely, tracking hearings, filings, and court orders, to ensure timely responses and submissions. Legal teams must present all arguments and evidence only in the court where the case is pending, refraining from initiating new actions that could conflict with the ongoing case. Third, they should guide their clients on the legal implications of res sub judice, advising them against pursuing related matters in other courts. To avoid procedural errors, teams should stay up to date with relevant rules, statutes, and deadlines and, if necessary, seek the court's permission for any actions outside the current case. By carefully adhering to these steps, legal teams can safeguard against unnecessary legal complications, minimize risks, and ensure that the case proceeds smoothly and within the bounds of the law.
