1.6 Ruling on Objections is the process of the court making a decision on any objections that have been filed to a pleading or motion in a legal case. The court must rule on the objections before any further steps in the case can be taken. There are two types of 1.6 Ruling on Objections. The first type is overruling an objection, which occurs when the court decides that the objection does not have merit and can be dismissed. The second type is sustaining an objection, which occurs when the court decides that the objection has merit and must be addressed by the opposing party before the case can proceed.
