The form was revised to include language which requests that the petitioner indicate whether the non-moving party consents, does not oppose, or opposes assignment to the Business Court pilot program or that their position is unknown. Checkboxes indicating whether exclusive jurisdiction of the Business Court is ordered or denied have also been added to the form.
