Caseload Limitations Clause Samples
The Caseload Limitations clause sets a maximum number of cases, clients, or matters that a party—typically a service provider or professional—can handle at any given time under the agreement. In practice, this clause may specify a numerical cap or define criteria for determining when the limit is reached, ensuring that the provider is not overburdened and can maintain quality standards. Its core function is to prevent excessive workloads, thereby protecting both the provider from burnout and the client from diminished service quality.

A waiver may be requested in cases where a substantial amount of work was required before the Change of Plea or Dismissal.
