When must an Alberta standard appeal reach the hearing list?

Rule 14.64(c) requires placement on the Civil Appeal Hearing List before the earlier of six months after the last factum deadline and twelve months after filing the notice of appeal.

Responsible actor. The appellant progressing a standard appeal.

Both the applicable last factum deadline and actual notice-of-appeal filing.

The last factum is filed late. Its actual late filing does not automatically move the deadline-based six-month branch.

Alberta Court of Appeal civil procedure. Establish the last factum deadline under the actual timetable, compare both thresholds, and obtain actual hearing-list placement before the earlier boundary. The last factum is filed late. Its actual late filing does not automatically move the deadline-based six-month branch. Two established thresholds and actual hearing-list placement are required. One event cannot establish the earlier-of deadline or the final listing boundary.

1. Establish the last factum deadline under the actual timetable, compare both thresholds, and obtain actual hearing-list placement before the earlier boundary.
2. Establish the actual filing, service, hearing or listing event from the accepted document and proof.
3. Rule 13.3 excludes the event or hearing date and counts consecutive calendar days. Its information note illustrates ten days before May 15 as May 5; it does not require ten intervening days. Rule 13.4 uses the same-numbered date for months, ending on the last day when that number does not exist. Its nonleap anniversary rule uses February 28 for a February 29 event.
4. Check each required act’s actual holiday or closure boundary and any operative variation.

Interpretation Act section 22(1) addresses expiry on a defined holiday; section 22(2) separately addresses closure of the actual required office or place. Section 28(1)(x) includes Sundays and specified holidays, but does not make every Saturday a holiday. A registry closure is not an automatic service extension. A backward minimum interval must remain satisfied. Actual proclaimed holidays, unsupported closures or an unestablished service method require separate review.

Court of Appeal Rule 14.1(h) requires submission of the correct document and acknowledgment of acceptance. Electronic Filing Practice Direction 8 treats documents received on an open registry day by 4 p.m. Mountain Time as submitted that day; later or closed-day submissions move to the next business day. Receipt acknowledgment is not acceptance, and rejected documents are not filed. Accepted filing is backdated to the established submission date. Filing permission or a provided email address does not itself establish valid electronic service.
