Why does a Warrant have a due date? Here's an example - Date Issued: 07/05/2007 Due Date: 03/30/2010. I thought warrants didn't expire so what's it all about?? THANKS!!

No offense, but you don't know much about warrants. I am assuming you mean warranties ( promises to make good on a product), as opposed to warrants = arrest documents. A Warranty is an offer to make good on a promise based on specific details (as: against manufacturing defects) for a specified length of time ( 90 days, two years, as noted in the warranty).

A criminal arrest warrant related to a felony does not expire, but a bench warrant issued for a civil matter can have an expiration date. The purpose is to promote effeciency in the court system. An active bench warrant means the court retains jurisdiction over the matter. An expiration date helps ensure that a person doesn't settle a matter out of court and without dismissing the action.
