Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Oregon
Are there any requirements for a judge to keep parties notified when he is taking much longer than he said to decide a case. We were told it would be 1-2 weeks, then 6o days post trail he said he would get to 'it" by the end of the month. 6 months later we are still waiting... we are entering our 9th month and have heard nothing.

There are no legal requirements about that. Of course, it would be courteous for the judge to keep you apprised. You can contact the judge's office and ask about the status of the decision. In doing so, you can note it has been 9 months since the hearing. No doubt the judge will get the message and accord the case a higher priority. If that does not work, you can contact the office of the Presiding Judge for the county circuit court and state that the case has been under advisement for 9 months. The Presiding Judge will probably tell the judge to issue an order or will reassign the case to another judge.
