Legal Definitions - improper motion

An improper motion is a request made to a court that is not allowed or appropriate. It is a type of motion that does not follow the rules or procedures of the court.

For example, if a party files a motion to dismiss a case without any legal basis, it would be considered an improper motion. Another example is if a party files a motion that is not related to the case or the issues at hand.

Improper motions can waste the court's time and resources, and can also delay the resolution of the case. It is important for parties to follow the rules and procedures of the court when making requests or motions.
