GENERAL RULES OF PRACTICE

(Added effective July 1, 2015.)

Advisory Committee Comment - 2015 Amendments

As the courts implement electronic filing and electronic service in more types of cases, electronic service using the court's system will increasingly be the most common means of service. Rule 14 defines how the e-filing and e-services systems operate and must be used.

Minnesota Statutes, sections 524.1-401 and 524.5-113, were amended by Minnesota Laws 2014, chapter 204, by addition of the following:

Except where personal service is required by statute for the petition to appoint a guardian under section 524.5-308 or conservator under section 524.5-404, service of all documents and notices under this chapter may, and where required by Supreme Court rule or order shall, be made by electronic means other than facsimile transmission if authorized by rule or order of the Supreme Court and if service is made in accordance with the rule or order.
