When must I appeal to the Manitoba Court of Appeal after judgment pronouncement?

File and serve the notice within 30 days after judgment pronouncement under the ordinary other-case branch, subject to statute, leave and actual directions.

Responsible actor. The prospective appellant using the ordinary other-case branch.

Establish pronouncement of the judgment appealed from, where the required-filing branch does not apply.

Rule 11(1)(c) is the other-case branch. It does not replace required judgment filing under paragraph (a) or the post-leave branch in subrule (2.1).

Manitoba Court of Appeal notice under the ordinary other-case pronouncement branch in Rule 11(1)(c). Establish appealability and any required leave before using the 30 days for filing and service. Judgment-filing and post-leave cases use different triggers. An actual varying direction or unsupported final closure requires separate review.

Court of Appeal Rules, Man Reg 555/88 R, r 11(1)(c)

How does this provision count time?

  1. Identify the actual applicable rule, actor and procedural branch.
  2. Establish the operative event from the actual filing, service, notice or order.
  3. Apply the correct counting source and each required act’s final-day boundary.
  4. Complete the actual required filing, service, document, security or hearing-setting steps.

Exclude the specified event date under Interpretation Act section 22(4) and count consecutive days. The Court of Appeal Rules have no general short-period holiday exclusion. Section 22(3) separately excludes both event dates for true clear-day or minimum-between-events wording; establish that classification before using a backward notice cutoff.

Interpretation Act sections 23 and 24 separately address statutory holidays and closure of the actual place for an act. Saturday, Easter Monday and Civic Holiday are not listed section 23 holidays. The April 1, 2026 court notice, effective April 20 until further notice, closes the registry counter Wednesdays and weekends and accepts Wednesday filing on the next open registry day. That filing notice does not automatically extend separate interpartes service. Establish actual method, place, calendar and any additional closure.

What do independently checked examples show?

Fictitious example

Illustrative established event on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Pronouncement of the judgment appealed from, where the required-filing branch does not apply. The event is effective, rather than proposed dispatch or informal knowledge. The applicable ordinary procedure, actor, recipients and effective method are established, with no actual varying order, granted extension, proclaimed holiday or additional closure. Where filing is required, the official paper document is accepted by the registry within the current counter hours and required electronic copies are submitted separately. Any distinct interpartes service is completed by its own applicable deadline.

Which conditions and exceptions apply?

Established procedural branch
Rule 11(1)(c) is the other-case branch. It does not replace required judgment filing under paragraph (a) or the post-leave branch in subrule (2.1).
Material boundary
An interlocutory order requires leave under Court of Appeal Act section 25.2(1), unless an actual statutory exception applies. The ordinary notice calculator does not itself establish leave.
Actual variation
Check the actual statute, order and any granted extension. Rule 42 permits court or judge variation except where the rules otherwise provide. Book and factum extensions have Rule 28.1 requirements. A requested extension is not a granted one.
Actual final-day and completion facts
Interpretation Act sections 23 and 24 separately address statutory holidays and closure of the actual place for an act. Saturday, Easter Monday and Civic Holiday are not listed section 23 holidays. The April 1, 2026 court notice, effective April 20 until further notice, closes the registry counter Wednesdays and weekends and accepts Wednesday filing on the next open registry day. That filing notice does not automatically extend separate interpartes service. Establish actual method, place, calendar and any additional closure.

Questions about this procedure

When must I appeal to the Manitoba Court of Appeal after judgment pronouncement?

What starts this pronouncement appeal deadline?

Pronouncement of the judgment appealed from, where the required-filing branch does not apply. Preserve evidence of that actual event; another procedure’s trigger does not replace it.

What action does this ordinary period require?

File and serve the notice of appeal within the ordinary 30 days after pronouncement, subject to an Act-specific period, leave requirement or actual direction.

Court of Appeal Rules, Man Reg 555/88 R, r 11(1)(c)

Can I wait for the signed order under this branch?

Rule 11(1)(c) uses pronouncement. Determine the proper branch first; a later written order does not automatically restart this clock.

Court of Appeal Rules, Man Reg 555/88 R, r 11(1)(c)

Must I obtain leave for an interlocutory order?

Court of Appeal Act section 25.2 ordinarily requires leave, subject to its listed exceptions. Check the actual order and statutory appeal right.

Court of Appeal Rules, Man Reg 555/88 R, r 11(1)(c)

Which parties receive the notice?
