As a result, the Court has prepared a new set of Practice Notes to provide guidance with respect to the operation of the new Rules, effective on the date when those Rules come into force. 3. Accordingly, (
a) all Practice Notes issued by the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, Court of Appeal before October 17, 2016 no longer apply to civil proceedings in the Court, and (
b) the following Practice Notes are issued pursuant to rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules, NLR 38/16. 4. The Index preceding the individual Practice Notes is provided for guidance but does not form part of the Practice Notes.

Background In the past, the notice of appeal included a requirement to list the “grounds” of the appeal. Over time, this has led to the submission of notices with exte nsive “boiler plate” grounds which are of limite d use for purposes of understanding the nature o f the appeal. As a result, the rule has been changed to require a
summary of what the appeal is about and what the issues are. This approach is intended to encourage m eaningful notice to the other parties. Th is is necessary, among other reasons, to assi st opposing parties in determining whether they wish to file a notice of cross-appeal. As a result of this change in approach, with the focus on what the appeal is about and what the issues are, stating the basis for the appeal, that is, how the court appealed from erred, may be reserved until drafting of the factum.
This eliminates the necessit y of seeking to amend the notice of appeal to add or reword grounds of appeal as was the case under the former Rules. Practice Note 1. The notice of appeal requir es counsel to focus on what the appeal is about by summarizing the subject matter and setting out the issues which form the basis for the appeal. Care should be taken to draft the document so as to give the opposing party as clear notice as possible early in the appeal process. 2. Section (4) of Form 1 provides a list of particulars which must be considered and, where appropriate, included in the notice of appeal.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 243 Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-02 LEAVE TO APPEAL DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rules 8, 33 to 35, and 42 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background The Rules have been amended to remove the requirement for leave to appeal with respect to: (1) interlocutory orders (now called “uncompleted matters”); and (2) or ders as to costs only. The most substantial change is the manner of dealing with appeals in uncompleted matters. Under the former Rules, it was often uncertain whether an appeal was, in fact, interlocutory or final. I n addition, in the vast majority of situations, it was most conve nient and expeditious to hear the application for leave at the s ame time as the appeal, thereby negating the usefulness of the leave re quirement.
Also in the vast majority of cases, leave was granted. Accordingly, the rules committee determined that it would be mo re practical to allow a party to appeal an order in an uncompleted matter without having to obtain leave. There is a presumption th at the appellant has good reason for proceeding before the matter is completed in the court appealed from. Consequently, the notice of appeal must include reference to the uncompleted status of the matter and the reason for proceeding at the time (Form 1(4)(b)).
In addition, the rules committee recognized that there may be some circumstances in which an appeal in an uncompleted matter should not proceed until the trial has been co mpleted. Accordingly, rule 35 authorizes an opposing party to apply to have the notice of appeal in an uncompleted matter struck on the basis of prejudice, inconvenience, inefficient use of judicial resources, or for other good reason. The effect would be to delay the appeal until the trial has been comp leted, without prejudice to the appellant to raise the same issue on a subsequent appeal.
Leave is still required under the new rules where (1) required by statute, such as the Class Actions Act (rule 33), (2) the order under appeal is a consent order (rule 34), and (3) an order regarding staying the enforcement of an or der under appeal has been made by the Supreme Court, Trial Division (rule 42(4)). Practice Note 1. Leave to appeal an interlocutory order was rarely denied und er the former Rules. This i ndicates that counsel carefully considered whether it was appropriate to appeal before the trial was completed. It is expected that the same care will be taken under the new Rules.
That is, in de ciding to bring an appeal in an uncompl eted matter or in challenging such an appeal under rule 35, it is expected that counsel will careful ly consider the merits of taking action either to commence an appeal or to launch a challenge to that procedure. Fair ness and the orderly and expeditious administration of justice must be the focus.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 244 2. Rule 8 requires that a notice of appe al in an uncompleted matter must be fi led within ten days after the order or decision appealed from has been filed. Where the court app ealed from does not provide for filing an order, the ten day limitation period begins to run seven days after the decision is made. 3. Where leave to appeal is required by statute, rule 33 sets out the procedure. The leave application will be heard separately from the appeal unless the C ourt, on application or of its own motion, orders that leave and the appeal be heard together.
In the latter case, submissions on leave must be included in the appeal factum. Where leave is heard before the appeal, the procedure set out in rule 33(3) applies. Counsel should note the time frames set out in the rule. 4. Under rule 34, where the order under appeal is a consent order, leave to appeal is required. The procedure to follow is set out in rule 30 which deals with applications generally. 5. Leave that may be necessary where a party seeks a stay of enforcement of an order under appeal is discussed in Practice Note CAPN No. 2016-07 dealing with stays.
Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-03 APPEALS INVOLVING CHILDREN DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 9 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules. Background Particular concerns arise when an appeal involving children is delayed.
The child’ s circumstances may ha ve changed since the time of the original judgment such that any variation on appeal, even if legally jus tified on the basis of the trial record, mi ght be counterproductive to the current interests of the child. It is necessary, then, that parties avoid delay in the appeal process, and provide current information regarding a child, where appropriate. Practice Note 1. Counsel involved in an appeal from an order affecting th e interests of a child should familiarize themselves with the provisions of rule 9, and should comply with its letter and spirit. 2.
Rule 9 applies to all appeals and any related proceeding where the interests of a child may be directly affected by the outcome. This includes, but is not limited to, appeals involving (
a) custody, (
b) access, (
c) protective intervention for a child, (
d) guardianship of a child or the estate of a child, (
e) child support,
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 245 (
f) possession of a matrimonial home, (
g) application of a domestic contract, and (
h) change of a child’s name. 3. Counsel should strive to work coope ratively to perfect the appeal and should take all steps needed to expedite (
a) the preparation of any necessary transcripts, and (
b) filing of the appeal book and factums, notwithstanding that time permitted under the Rules has not expired. 4. Cases in which rule 9 is engaged must be given priority. For example, counsel should (
a) carefully consider what portions of the transcript are necessary for preparation of the factum and to enable the issues on appeal to be determined, (
b) undertake any necessary follow-up to ensure timely preparation of any necessary transcript, and (
c) where appropriate, request preparation of the transcript on an overtime basis. 5. The registrar will monitor the progress of an appeal involv ing a child. Counsel is expect ed to provide any assistance and respond to any requests by the registrar in a timely way. 6. Counsel should ensure the provision of current information rega rding a child as specified in rule 9, where appropriate. Rule 9(5) authorizes the provision of information regardi ng any other court proceedings involving a child (Form 9). Rule 9(6) authorizes the provision of current information regarding a child, by affidavit. 7.
Further, any orders that have been made relating to a child must be included in the appeal book (rule 52(1)(a)(vii)). 8. In written submissions and at the hear ing of an appeal it is important to a dvise the Court of any concerns regarding identification of parties where children are involved, including any orders or practices followed in the court appealed from. 9. A party may request or the Court of its own motion may di rect a prehearing conference where necessary or appropriate to expedite the hearing of an appeal involving a child. Where appropriate, the Court may give interim directions or orders.
Where the circumstances warrant , on matters of procedure having no substantive effect, the Court may give directions in the absence of a request or submissions of the parties. Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-04 CONSTITUTION OF FIVE-JUDGE PANEL FOR POSSIBLE RECONSIDERATION OF PREVIOUS COURT DECISION DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 12 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 246 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules. Background The Judicature Act allows three judges to exercise al l of the powers of the Court: RSNL 1990, c. J-4, s. 7. However, the Chief Justice may designate a larger number of judges to sit as a panel in a particular case.
The practice has developed of constituting a panel of five judges where it is apparent that counsel will submit as part of their argument that a previous decision or legal principle stated by the Court should be reconsidered or reversed in accordance with the limited grounds, as discussed in the case law, upon which reconsideration or reversal is permitted. Counsel do not always make their position w ith respect to reconsideration or reversal clear in the written argument which they file.
Furthermore, argument is sometimes stated in a way that does not expressly invite the Court to reconsider or reverse a previous decision or legal principle, though the result being argued for imp licitly would lead to that result. So that an appropriate panel may be struck, it is important fo r the Court to know well in advance of the hearing date that reconsideration or reversal of a previous decision or legal principle may be engaged, either expressly or implicitly. Practice Note 1.
When crafting their written submissions, co unsel should be alert to the possibility that their arguments, either expressly or implicitly, may involve asking the Court to reconsider or reverse a previous decision or legal principle stated by the Court. 2. At the time of filing their factum, counsel must advise the Court and other parties in writing if they believe that their submissions, including submissions in the alternativ e, may involve submitting that a previous decision or legal principle stated by the Court should be reconsidered or reversed (rule 12(1)). 3.
Where the Chief Justice directs that the appeal will be heard by a panel of 5 judges, every party must file 6 copies of every document (rule 12(2)). 4. Failure to advise the Court and other parties as required by rule 12 may result in a scheduled appeal being delayed until a panel of appropriate size can be constituted and the additional panel members, if any, can familiarize themselves with the appeal materials.
In that case, the Court may make an order regarding costs, or a party adversely affected by the failure of a party to no tify the Court or the other parties may, on taxation, be able to claim (or offset) the additional costs occasioned by that failure. 5.
Where notice of an intention to ask the Court to recons ider or reverse a previous d ecision or legal principle is given and other parties go to extra expense in filing material with respect to that issue or are required to file additional copies of material and it ultimately appears that it was not appropriate for the Court to address reconsideration or reve rsal of the previous decision or legal principle in question, that fact may be taken into account on the issue of costs.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 247 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules. Background The Court of Appeal Rules stand alone and are no longer part of the Rules of the Supreme Court, 1986 . As a result, procedures such as those relating to the service of do cuments must be found in the new Rules or in practice subsequently developed by the Court. Practice Note 1. Documents must be served “without delay”. 2.
Documents are to be served at the address for service that applied in the court appealed from, unless a new address is provided. 3. A party should retain the necessary pr oof of service document (rule 28(8)). However, the document should not be filed with the Court unless proof of service becomes an issue during the appeal proceedings. 4. Where necessary, reference may be made to rule 6, which applies when an issue arises that is not covered by the Rules.
Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-06 MAKING A REQUEST DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rules 7(k), 8(5)(b), 19(1), 21(1), 30(8), 31(3), 53(5), 57(8), 60(2) EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background In order to facilitate efficient and cost-effective procedures in appeal proceedings, in specified circumstances, the Rules per mit a party to make a written request to the Court for directions or an order. A request is intended to take the place of an applica tion, which requires a court appearance. Parties are encouraged to use the request procedure to the exte nt possible and appropriate. Ma king a request will not preclude a party from making an application on the same matter should that prove necessary or appropriate.
Copies of a request should be delivered to other parties so that they have notice and are kept informed about the progress in carrying forward the appeal. Practice Note 1. A request is made by delivering a written request to the Court registry. A copy should be delivered to the other parties so that they have notice of the request.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 248 2. The Rules set out circumstances when a request is an op tion for proceeding. However, a party may use the request procedure in circumstances not covered by the Rules where that would be a reasonable procedure and is accepted by the Court. 3. Where convenient and appropriate, a request may be delivered to the Court by email at COAregistry@gov.nl.ca. However, the Court may direct that a particular request be delivered other than by electronic means.
Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-07 STAYING AN ORDER PENDING APPEAL DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 42 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background Filing a notice of appeal does not operate to stay the enforcement of an order under appeal, except in specialized proceedings pursuant to a statute, such as in bankruptcy . A party wishing to stay the enforcement of the order pending appeal must make an application. There are two options: (1) an application to the Co urt of Appeal, or (2) an appli cation in the Supreme Court, Tri al Division. Practice Note 1. A party seeking to stay the enforcement of an order under appeal must make a choice to apply to either the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court, Trial Division. 2.
If a party chooses to apply directly to the Court of Appeal for a stay (option 1), and the application is heard by a single judge, a party may seek leave of the Chief Justice to have the matter reheard by a panel of judges (rule 31). 3. Where the Court of Appeal has made an order granting or refusing a stay, and there is a change in circumstances, a party may apply for a review of the order based on that change. 4. If an application to stay the enforcement of an order under appeal is made in the Supreme Court, Trial Division (option 2), that decision may be appealed to the Court of Appeal.
In that case, leave to appeal is required. Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 249 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-08 COURT CALENDAR – DESIGNATED HEARING DAYS DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 30(7) EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background The Court has had a long-standing practice of designating two consecutive weeks out of each month, from the beginning of September to the end of the following June, to be the period during which appeals will normally be heard. In addition, two days per month during the same period are designated for the hearing of applications. This practice enables the parties to anticipate an appropriate sc hedule for having matters heard by the Court. However, the
schedule does not preclude the C ourt from setting appeals or applications to be heard outside the designated times where necessary or appropriate. Practice Note 1. The Court will, prior to April 30 th in each year, prepare and issue a sitting
schedule which shall de signate applications days, hearing days and public holidays for the next C ourt year commencing on the first Monday of September following Labour Day and ending on the Friday nearest the 30th day of the following June. 2. The Court will designate two consecutive weeks out of each month, from the beginning of September to the end of the following June, to be the period during which appeals will normally be heard. 3. The days in each month for the hearing of applications shall be (
a) every second Tuesday beginning with the Tuesda y in September following La bour Day to the Tuesday nearest the 15th day of December, and (
b) every second Tuesday beginning with the Tuesday nearest the 10 th day of January to the Tuesday nearest the 30th day of June, unless any such Tuesday is a public holiday, in which case the next following regular Court day will be the designated applications day. 4. The designated
schedule does not preclud e setting the hearing of an appeal or an application on a day outside the designated
schedule where directed or ordered by a judge. Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 250 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-09 SETTING THE DATE FOR HEARING AN APPEAL DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 19 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background With a view to reducing costs to litigants by eliminating unnece ssary court appearances on routine matters, a party may request that a date be set for the hearing of an appeal, without the need for an application. In some cases following perfection of an appeal, the parties will delay making a request to set a date for a hearing. While par ties may have legitimate reasons for so doing, the Court is concerned that there may be other cases, especially in family matters, where the public interest in the timely administration of justice may not be served by delay.
Even though there are mechanisms within the Rules for dealing with inactive cases through deemed abandonment (rule 17) and failure to proceed with an appeal (rule 16), the Court may adopt a shorter time frame to ensure that cases that are perfected a nd awaiting a hearing can be advanced, if it is appropriate to do so. Practice Note 1. Under rule 19(1), a party may obtain a date for the hearing of an appeal without the need for an application. A request is made in writing using Form 6. The following criteria, listed on the Form, must be satisfied: (
a) all factums, the appeal book, and transcri pt as required by rule 47 are filed; (
b) the direction of the Court is not required on any matter before a date is set; and (
c) there is no circumstance requiring a court appearance. 2. Absent special cons iderations, the date requested should fall within two months after the request is made. 3. Parties are encouraged to determine, by reference to the Court’s published calendar of sitting dates, mutually acceptable dates during the following two months when the parties would be available to appear on the appeal. 4. If necessary, the registrar may attempt to contact the parties to confirm an acceptable date for the hearing of the appeal.
If the registrar does not receive a reply fro m the parties within 3 days of having attempted to contact them, the registrar may proceed to set a date for the hearing in accordance with the requesting party’s proposal. 5. The registrar may convene a conference cal l with all parties, with or without the participation of the Chief Justice or his or her designate, to resolve scheduling arrangements. 6. The registrar may decline to set a date in accordance with this procedure and require that an application using Form 7 be made to the Court where (
a) it appears that any of the conditions in Form 6 is not satisfied, (
b) one of the parties objects to setting a date without an application being made, (
c) the registrar concludes that for any ot her reason an application should be made. 7. If the registrar sets a date under rule 19(1), the parties will be notified in writing that the appeal will be heard on that date.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 251 8. Parties are encouraged to set hearing dates by means of a request rather than an application. 9. Where a party unnecessarily or unreasona bly requests that a date be set by m eans of the application procedure, the presiding judge may take that fact into consideration in deciding to award costs of the application against that party. 10.
A taxing master may take into consideration whether an application to set a date wa s unnecessarily or unreasonably made in deciding to deny costs of such application to a party who is otherwise entitled to costs following an appeal. 11. In the absence of good reasons to the contrary, an appellant will be expected to request or apply for a date for the hearing of the appeal within 60 days after the respondent’s factum is filed. 12.
Where 60 days have elapsed since the filing of the responde nt’s factum, the registrar may contact the parties to inquire as to the reasons for not reques ting a hearing date and may require that the r easons be stated in writing. In the absence of good reasons, the registrar, on the instructions of the Chief Justice, may give notice to the parties that the matter will be called at a subsequent applications date for a judge to determine whether a hearing date should nevertheless be set.
Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-10 DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED AFTER HEARING DATE IS SET OR REPLACING MATERIALS FILED EARLIER DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rules 26 and 56 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background In order for counsel and the panel assigned to an appeal to ha ve sufficient opportunity to prepare for the hearing, it is essen tial that all materials be filed in a timely manner. It is also important for the Court and parties to consider all relevant judicial authority. To ensure that the panel and the parties have reference to the correct materials in preparing for a hearing, where replacement materials are filed, it is essential that the Court and the other parties be clearly advised in a timely manner. Practice Note 1.
After a hearing date has been set for an appeal, the registry will mark as received, but will not file, a document subsequently delivered to the Court. The panel assigned to the appeal will determine the extent to which the document may be used for purposes of the appeal. 2. Where a relevant judicial decision becomes available after the hearing date has been set for an appeal, the appellant, or another party, should, without delay, deliver one copy of the decision to each other party and 4 copies to the Court with 4 copies of an appropriate covering letter.
Unless it is unavoidable, counsel should not wait until the hearing to provide copies of judicial decisions. 3. Where a party submits a document replacing a document filed earlier, a statement must be placed on the cover of the document clearly indicating:
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 252 (
a) that it is a replacement, and (
b) identifying the document that it is replacing. Four copies of an appropriate covering letter should a ccompany the replacement document delivered to the Court. 4. A party becoming aware of a decision on point that was not cited or referenced in the written submissions or at the hearing should, without delay, deliver one copy of the decision to each party and 4 copies to the Court with 4 copies of an appropriate covering letter.
Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-11 TRANSCRIPT AND AGREED STATEMENT OF FACTS DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rules 46 to 51 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Background The filing of unnecessary portions of the transcript increases co sts, is a waste of resources and unduly delays the time necess ary for the appeal process. In the past, in preparation for an appeal, appellant’s counsel frequently requested the preparation of , and filed with the Court, the entire transcript of the evidence taken at trial, and in some cases included the submissions of trial counsel and discussions between the trial judge and counsel. Panels hearing appeals have found that th e full transcript is, in most cases, unnecessa ry for purposes of determining the issue s under appeal.
Often, even a portion of the transcript is unnece ssary. Under rule 47(2) the portion of transcript to be filed is limited to the portion “that is necessary to enable the issues on appeal to be determined”. Where the factum does not refer to the transcript, one must question whether any portion of the transcript should be filed. Rule 46 provides for counsel to obtain the portion of the transcript “necessary to prepare the factum and to enable the issues on appeal to be determined”. In order to prepare the factum, counsel may wish to obtain all or a portion of the transcript.
Howe ver, it does not follow that all or a portion of the transcript should be filed. Once the factum is written, it should be clear whether the whole, a part, or none of the transcript should be filed. It is for this reason that the transcript is to be filed at the same time as the factum. To ensure that counsel has reviewed the issues discussed in the factum in order to ascertain what portion, if any, of the trans cript is required for purposes of determining the appeal, rule 47(2)(
b) requires counsel to file a certificate in Form 5. To avoid the need for a transcript, the option of proceeding by way of an agreed statement of facts drafted for purposes of the appeal is available.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 253 Practice Note 1. Counsel are expected to re view and familiarize themselves with the rule s respecting the use of transcripts on appeals and to promote their underlying purpose. 2. The appellant is required to obtain a copy of the audio recording from the court appealed from without delay, and to deliver a copy to each party (rule 46(2)). 3. The next step is for the a ppellant, without delay, to ascerta in whether all or a portion of the transcript is necessary in order to prepare the factum and to determine the issues on appe al.
Rule 46 sets out the procedure. It should be noted that rule 46(3) requires the appellant to proceed without delay and to provide the other parties with information regarding preparation of a transcript. 4. Under rule 47, the appellant is required to file only the portions of the transcript “necessary to enable the issues on appeal to be determined”. Should the respondent, or another appellant where there is more than one appellant, determine that additional portions of the transcript are required, those portions may be filed with that party’s factum.
A certificate comparable to that required to be filed by the appellant applies with the necessary changes. 5.
The appellant is also required to file one electronic versi on of the transcript where a transcript of the entire evidence has been prepared; or, where only part of the transcript has been prepared, one electronic version of the transcript together with one copy of the audio recording (rule 48). “Electronic version” is defined as a version in a format acceptable to the Court. “Transcript” is defined as a printed transcri pt of the evidence, which does not include submissions by counsel unless they are necessary for determination of the issues under appeal. 6.
Counsel are encouraged to make use of an agreed stat ement of facts, prepared for purposes of the appeal, where appropriate, such as where the appeal e ngages issues of law without any disput e as to the facts. Where the matter proceeded on an agreed statement of facts in the court appeal ed from, that document must in any event be filed in the Appeal Book (rule 52(1)(a)(vi)). 7. A party may apply for an order and directions permitting the use of the electronic rather than a paper version of the transcript, or, in appropriate circumstances, the audio recording (rule 49).
The Court may, of its own motion, dispense with the preparation and filing of a transcript and order that the appeal proceed using an audio recording of the proceedings in the court or tribunal appealed from. 8. Where at any time it appears to the Court that delays in the preparation of a transcript or delays for any other reason are unexplained, the registrar, on th e instructions of the Chief Justice, may se t the matter down for a status hearing or a prehearing conference.
Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-12 APPEAL BOOK, FACTUM AND TRANSCRIPT DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rules 52 to 56 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 254 Background Rule 56 provides that the appeal book, factum and transcript, are to be filed at the same time. The purpose is to limit the filing of unnecessary documents for purposes of an appeal. Delaying the filing of the appeal book and transcript until the factum has been prepared should result in the submission of only relevant portions of the record. To facilitate hearing of the appeal and drafting reasons for a decision, compliance with the technical aspects of the Rules is important.
While it does not impact content or merit, failure to conform to the technical requirements of the Rules and provid e proper indexing, references and citations creates inconvenience and difficulties for the judges.
More common failures include: Filing extensive transcripts without indexing, dating and tabbing or any other means to locate evidence; Failure to include citations of cases from legal publications in the Index of Authorities, and providing only a CanLII citation (rule 54(1)); Improper use of footnotes (rule 53(3)); Failure to number the pages of the appeal book; Failure to use the correct colour of cover for a document; Failure to place the Index of Authorities after
Part V in the factum; Failure to bind the factum properly; Failure to file a clean copy of the decision under appeal; Failure to follow the order for placing documents in the appeal book and factum. Filing a factum in excess of 40 pages shoul d be necessary only in rare circumstances . Counsel should have good reason for requesting leave to file a factum exceeding the limit. Practice Note 1. The appeal book and transcript are to be filed at the same time as the factum. This should ensure that only materials necessary for the appeal will be filed. 2.
It is important for c ounsel and their assistants to be familiar with the tec hnical rules for filing th e appeal book, factum and transcript (rules 52 to 56). The registry may refuse to accept materials that are not in substantial compliance, resulting in extra expense and time. 3. It is important to deal with the question of costs in the submissions in the factum. If counsel is submitting that costs, either in its favour or against it, should be ordered other th an under column 3 of the scale of costs, that should be made clear along with the reasons supporting the request. 4.
Where a party wishes to exceed the 40-page limit for written argument imposed by rule 53(1)(e), a request, not an application, should be made to the Ch ief Justice. See CAPN No. 2016-06 for the relevant procedure. A copy of the request should be provided to the other parties. The reques t must state the reasons why it is not possible to comply with the 40-page limit.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR GAZETTE August 12, 2016 255 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-13 FORMAL ORDERS DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 57 EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules. Background It is important to avoid delays in filing formal orders. Ru le 57 places the responsibility on th e successful party to prepare a draft order which is to be provided to the other parties.
The other parties are required to respond to the draft without delay. The parties have 30 days within which to provide a draft to the C ourt. If there are special circumstances making compliance with t he rule difficult or inappropriate, the parties may make a request or an application under rule 57(8). It should not fall to the Court to ensure compliance with rule 57. Nor should it be necessary for the registrar to remind the parties of their responsibility to provide a draft formal order. Rule 57(6) provides that the Court shall determine and approve the final formal order.
Undue and unexplained delay by the parties in filing a draft formal order may result in the Court proceeding to draft and file the order. Practice Note 1. In accordance with the Code of Professional Conduct and their general duty to act in a timely way under the Rules, counsel are reminded that they are expected to comply with rule 57 without undue de lay in the preparation and submission of a draft formal order reflecting the disposition of an appeal. 2.
It is expected that a draft formal order will be subm itted within 30 days after the Court’s judgment is filed unless a written request or application is made under rule 57(8) to extend the time for submitting the draft or to clarify a point of contention. 3. Reference to the nature of a dissent in a judgment is to be included in the order. 4. Where the parties fail to comply with their responsibilitie s under rule 57, the Court may proceed to prepare and file the formal order.

Chief Justice of Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Registrar Court of Appeal Aug 12 COURT OF APPEAL RULES PRACTICE NOTE – CIVIL PROCEEDINGS CAPN No. 2016-15 FREQUENTLY CITED CASES – CIVIL DATE ISSUED: August 12, 2016 RULES AFFECTED: Rule 54(3) EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2016 The following Practice Note was filed with the registrar of the Court of Appeal and is published under rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Rules. Background Rule 54 requires a party to file copies of case authorities.
However, where a case is included in a list of “Frequently Cited Cases” in a practice note, a copy should not be included in the Book of Authorities (rule 54(3)). This is because the members of the panel will have copies of those cases, or portions thereof, readily accessible. Provi ding an additional copy is unnecessary an d inefficient. Appended to this Practice Note is a list of “Frequently Cited Cases – Civil”, in alphabetical order. There is also a list of the same cases arranged by topic. The lists will be reviewed and updated periodically.
It is important to note that the citations re fer to specific paragraphs or pages of the case. It is only those paragraphs or p ages, together with the headnote, that will be readily accessible to the judges. The rationale for limiting the copies in this way is that these cases are generally lengthy and the reason they are frequently cited is to state general principles or legal tests. Accordingly, if a party is relying on additional portions of the case, it will be necessary to include a copy in the Book of Authorities. Practice Note 1.
A copy of the case referenced in the appended list shoul d not be included in the Book of Authorities (rule 53(1)(h)). Where reliance is placed on paragraphs or pages in addition to those cited in the list, it will be necessary to provide a copy. 2. It is essential that the citation, as required under rule 54(1), be included in th e Index of Authorities in the factum (rul e 53(1)(g)). This Practice Note affects only copying of cases to be filed. It does not alter the requirement for a correct and complete citation.
