QB rejections

Ken Proudman Executive

1) Clerks are starting to put people on notice that a signed checklist needs to be sent along with filed documents: https://www.albertacourts.ca/qb/court-operations-schedules/guidelines-for-documents-filed-by-email-or-digital-upload/efiling-checklist

2) Concise letters are being rejected where they don't have bookmarks and OCR (hopefully LESA or the CBA will host a webinar on electronic document formatting).

3) This is a reminder that the grace period for the new Affidavit of Applicant form for desk divorces is over, so you'll need to use the new form: https://albertacourts.ca/qb/resources/announcements/new-form-of-affidavit-of-applicant-for-divorce-grace-period

Any word on direction from the courts regarding submission of large documents? Most email providers have a limit on size of documents that can be sent and received. Often OCR increases the size of documents exponentially and optimizing the size after does not reduce the size enough.

And the new affidavit in support of a divorce is 12-13 pages long! It's impossible for an assistant to fill out in most cases so here we go.... lets just add a few hundred more in costs for clients to have the assistance of a lawyer! This all seems to be a subtle effort to get lawyers out of helping people with family law matters all together.
