RULE 15 - JOURNAL ENTRIES TO BE FURNISHED
(A) When ordered or directed by the Court, counsel for
the party in whose favor an entry, order, judgment or decree
is entered shall, within ten (10) days unless the time is
extended by the Court, prepare a proper journal entry and
submit it to opposing counsel who shall approve or reject
it within five (5) days after its receipt and may file objections
in writing with the Court. The Court shall approve a journal
entry deemed by it to be proper, sign it and cause it to
be filed with the Clerk, with notice to the parties.
(B) (1) When a request for findings of fact and conclusions
of law is made, the Judge may direct the party making the
written request to prepare, within ten (10) days, proposed
findings of fact and conclusions of law and submit them
to the opposing counsel. Within ten (10) days after receipt
by the opposing counsel, the proposed findings shall be
submitted to the Court with objections and counter proposals,
if any, in writing; however, only those findings of fact
and conclusions of law made by the Court shall form part
of the record.
(2) Upon motion of a party made within ten (10) days after
the filing of the findings, the Court may amend the findings,
make additional findings and may amend the judgment accordingly.
The motion may be made with a motion for a new trial. When
findings of fact are made in actions tried by the Court
without a jury, the question of the sufficiency of the evidence
to support the findings may be raised whether or not the
party raising the question has made an objection in the
trial Court to such findings or has made a motion to amend
or a motion for judgment.
