When must I obtain certified judge’s notes for a Manitoba appeal?

Obtain and deliver three certified copies within 30 days after learning that the transcript is unavailable. Notify every other party without delay.

Responsible actor. The appellant who learns the transcript is unavailable.

Establish the established date the appellant learned a transcript of evidence was unavailable.

Knowledge of unavailability starts this 30-day step. Later deposit of the certified notes separately starts the Rule 26(1) factum period.

Manitoba Court of Appeal certified judge’s notes where the transcript is unavailable. Knowledge of unavailability starts the 30 days to obtain and deliver three certified copies; other parties must be notified without delay. Later arrival or deposit of the notes does not restart this step. Check actual directions and unsupported final closures separately.

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.

Fictitious example

Illustrative established event on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The established date the appellant learned a transcript of evidence was unavailable. 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.

Fictitious established facts. These examples do not establish eligibility, effective service, relief or a direction.

Established procedural branch

Knowledge of unavailability starts this 30-day step. Later deposit of the certified notes separately starts the Rule 26(1) factum period.

Material boundary

The reporter confirms unavailability October 5 but certified notes arrive October 20. The Rule 18 clock does not restart when the notes arrive.

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.
