Administrative Closure
A provider's termination of filed cases, typically for non-payment of required fees.
Where a party fails to pay the fees a provider requires to administer filed demands, the provider may close the cases administratively rather than proceed. Closure is not an adjudication on the merits; its practical effect is to return claimants to court — which may be exactly what a respondent wants, or exactly what it fears, depending on the jurisdiction and the size of the inventory.
