NOTICES TO THE PROFESSION

AND PRESS RELEASE    

AVIS AUX AVOCATS ET

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE

 

 

                                                                                                                                              


Counsel are hereby notified of the following amendments to the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada, registered as SOR/95-325 and SOR/95-326 and published in Part II of the Canada Gazette on July 26, 1995.


Les avocats sont avisés des modifications suivantes qui ont été apportées aux Règles de la Cour suprême du Canada dans DORS/95‑325 et DORS/95‑326, et publiées dans la partie II de la Gazette du Canada du 26 juillet 1995.


1.Time limits for filing an application for leave to cross-appeal


1.Délai pour déposer une demande d'autorisation d'appel incident


 


Rule 29(1) as been amended to give a respondent to a leave application 30 days to apply for leave to cross-appeal. 


Le paragraphe 29(1) des Règles a été modifié de sorte que l'intimé à une demande d'autorisation peut, dans les 30 jours, demander l'autorisation d'appel incident.


 


2.Time limits for filing factums on appeals


2.Délai pour déposer des mémoires relatifs à l'appel


 


The amendment to Rule 38(3)(a) reduces the time to serve and file an appellant's factum to four months from the filing of the notice of appeal, a decrease from the five months previously allowed under the rules.


En raison de la modification apportée à l'alinéa 38(3)a) des Règles, l'appelant doit signifier et déposer son mémoire dans les quatre mois suivant la date de dépôt de l'avis d'appel, et non plus dans le délai de cinq mois auparavant fixé par les Règles.


 


New Rule 38(3)(c) increases the time to serve and file an intervener's factum from two to four weeks from the service of the respondent's factum, unless otherwise ordered under Rule 18.  Counsel should note the consequential amendments to Rule 18(6).


Le nouvel alinéa 38(3)c) des Règles accroît le délai imparti pour la signification et le dépôt par l'intervenant de son mémoire de deux à quatre semaines suivant la date de signification du mémoire de l'intimé, sauf ordonnance contraire en application de l'article 18.  Les avocats sont priés de prendre note des modifications corrélatives apportées au paragraphe 18(6) des Règles.


 


The new time limits under Rule 38 will be applied to all cases where the notice of appeal is filed on or after July 26, 1995.


Les nouveaux délais fixés à l'article 38 des Règles s'appliqueront dans tous les cas où l'avis d'appel est déposé à compter du 26 juillet 1995.


3.       Abandoned appeals


3.Appels abandonnés


 


If the appellant's factum is not served and filed within six months of the filing of the notice of appeal or granting of leave, the appeal may be dismissed as abandoned.  Rule 45 allows the Registrar to apply to a judge to have the appeal dismissed as abandoned, unless the appellant obtains an extension of time within 30 days after the service of the Registrar's notice.

 

 

Any inquiries about these amendments should be addressed to Claude E. Alain, Director of Legal Affairs at (613) 996-7684.


Dans les cas où le mémoire de l'appelant n'est pas déposé et signifié dans les six mois qui suivent le dépôt de l'avis d'appel ou l'octroi de l'autorisation d'appel, l'appel peut être rejeté en tant qu'appel abandonné.  L'article 45 des Règles permet au registraire de demander à un juge de rejeter l'appel en tant qu'appel abandonné à moins que l'appelant n'obtienne une extension de délai dans les 30 jours suivant la signification de l'avis au registraire.

 

Toutes questions concernant ces modifications doivent être adressées à Claude E. Alain, directeur des Affaires juridiques, (613) 996-7684.

August, 1995


                Août 1995


 

 

Counsel practising before the Court are asked to take note of the following changes relating to hearings of appeals.

Les avocats qui plaident devant la Cour sont priés de prendre note des modifications suivantes concernant l'audition des appels.

 

1.          Hours of hearings

1.Heures des audiences

 

Beginning with the 1995 Fall Session, hearings will begin at 9:45 a.m. rather than 10:15 a.m.

À compter de la session d'automne 1995, les audiences débuteront à 9 h 45 plutôt qu'à 10 h 15.

 

When two appeals are scheduled to be heard on the same day, counsel in both appeals are requested to attend at the Process Registry, Room 166, no later than 9:15 a.m.

Lorsque deux appels doivent être entendus le même jour, les avocats dans les deux dossiers sont priés de se présenter au greffe, pièce 166, au plus tard à 9 h 15.

 

2.          Time allowed for argument

2.Durée des plaidoiries

 

Normally each side has up to one hour for their principal argument.  If the appellant uses the entire hour allotted for argument in the principal argument, five minutes will be allotted for reply.  If the appellant does not use the entire hour for principal argument, up to a maximum of fifteen additional minutes may be taken thus giving up to twenty minutes for reply.  If a party to an appeal brings a motion which must be dealt with in open court before the commencement of the appeal, the time allotted to that party for principal argument will be reduced accordingly, unless otherwise ordered.

Chaque côté dispose normalement d'une heure pour la plaidoirie principale.  Si l'appelant utilise toute l'heure qui lui est allouée pour sa plaidoirie principale, cinq minutes lui sont accordées pour sa réplique.  Si l'appelant n'utilise pas toute l'heure allouée pour sa plaidoirie principale, il peut reporter un maximum de quinze minutes aux cinq minutes de réplique normalement attribuées, soit au plus vingt minutes de réplique.  Si une partie à l'appel présente une requête qui doit être entendue à l'audience avant le commencement de l'appel, le temps accordé à cette partie pour la plaidoirie principale sera réduit d'autant, sauf ordonnance contraire.

 

A party not satisfied with the allotted time may make a motion for more time to the Registrar.

Une partie insatisfaite du temps accordé peut s'adresser au registraire par requête pour obtenir plus de temps.

 

The Registrar will consult with counsel or their Ottawa agents to obtain firm commitments for the time required for argument.  Once the times have been settled, the Court will expect counsel to keep within the allotted time.

Le registraire consultera les avocats ou leurs correspondants à Ottawa pour obtenir un engagement ferme sur le temps nécessaire aux plaidoiries.  Une fois le temps fixé, la Cour s'attend à ce que les avocats s'y conforment.

 

This notice replaces the notices of August 1991 and July 1992.

Le présent avis remplace les avis d'août 1991 et de juillet 1992.
