Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 36

As amended through April 11, 2024
Rule 36 - Clerical Mistakes

Clerical mistakes and errors in judgments, orders, or other parts of the record not including the transcript which arise from oversight or omission may be corrected by the Family Court at any time and after such notice, if any, as the Family Court orders. No changes in any transcript may be made by the Family Court except on notice to the Office of the Attorney General and counsel for the respondent. Where changes are made in the transcription of proceedings, the corrections and deletions shall be shown.

Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 36

COMMENT

This Rule is substantially similar to FRCrP 36, except that the last 2 sentences are new. The Rule allows ex parte correction of the record other than the transcript, but is designed to prevent ex parte alteration of the transcript.
