Additional record filing does not postpone briefing

Rule 306(c)(7) permits requests for additional portions or a request or order for the circuit clerk to file the record within thirty-five days after leave is allowed. Additional record filing does not affect the Rule 306 brief timetable.

A petition or answer can stand as a brief with timely notice

Rule 306(c)(8) permits the petition or answer to stand as a brief, or a brief in lieu of or in addition to it. Notify the other parties and Appellate Court clerk by the brief due date when choosing the former option.

Ordinary extensions require a timely supported motion

Rule 306(c)(4) permits the reviewing court or a judge to extend the stated periods on notice and motion, with an affidavit showing good cause, filed before original or extended expiry. Obtain the actual extension order.

Preserve the request, grant, direction and filing receipts. Use the proper clerk and required filing format. Rule 9 ordinarily requires electronic filing in civil cases, subject to its exceptions and exemptions. Rule 9(f) ordinarily uses submission before midnight in the court time zone, unless a statute, rule or order sets a particular time. A submission when the clerk is closed is ordinarily stamped on the next open day. Current Rule 9(f) provides separate five-court-day motions for a rejected filing or qualifying technical failure; establish the actual notice, failure, corrected document and required proof. Rule 373 ordinarily uses actual receipt, with its mail or carrier exception limited to filings excepted or exempt from electronic filing. Its carrier branch requires delivery for receipt within three business days and Rule 12(b) proof. Filing and service remain separate acts.
