2012 Change to Indiana Lazy Judge Rules
The trial court has an affirmative duty to hear and decide motions and other matters pending before it, including the entry of judgment following a bench trial.

possible errors, omissions or wrongdoing by their brokers, financial advisors, investment managers or investment
advisors, many are surprised to learn they are bound to arbitrate their claims in an arbitration administered by the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
