Change or Delete Violations (CMADISP)

Overview

Fields

Use the Violation tab of the Related Disposition form (CMADISP) to change, delete, or view violations for a case and party. You can view violations with an associated disposition and sentence, but you cannot make changes to them unless you first delete the disposition and sentence. Fee considerations when changing or deleting a violation

Only the current violation information displays on this tab. You can view a history of violation changes/deletions by selecting Violation History in the navigation frame. This option is enabled only if there are changed or deleted violations for the case ID and party ID entered at the top of the form.

When you change or delete a violation, ACS Contexte executes any rules defined for the violation on the Violation  Rules form (CTRCRUL).  For more about CTRCRUL, see the ACS Contexte Setup Manual.

Violation rules can be defined for each court, location, and case type combination. For more information, see the ACS Contexte Setup Manual.

To remove site-defined data, select Violation (COASITE) from the navigation frame to access the Site Define Fields Update form (COASITE). For more about COASITE, see the ACS Contexte Setup Manual.
