December 22, 2021 – Amendments to the Court of Queen’s Bench Rules
“On November 12, 2021, The Queen’s Bench Statutory Rules Committee met and passed Queen’s Bench Rule Amendments dealing with Rule 76 Small Claims. The Rule 76 Amendments are required to align with amendments to the Court of Queen’s Bench Small Claims Practices Act coming into force on January 1, 2022.
The Rule 76 amendments address appeals of a decision of a court officer, with a new requirement for an Application for Leave to Appeal and Notice of Appeal to be accompanied by a copy of the transcript of proceedings before the court officer or proof that a transcript of the proceedings has been ordered.
The full text of the amendments, Manitoba Regulation 151/2021, can be located at: https://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/regs/annual/2021/151.pdf.”
