Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 115.06
As amended through June 5, 2024
If any writ of certiorari is issued improperly or is not served as required by these rules, the party against whom it is issued may have it discharged on motion and affidavit showing the facts and shall be entitled to allowable costs.
Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 115.06
Rule 115sets out the procedure for securing review by the Court of Appeals of decisions of the Commissioner of Jobs and Training, decisions appealable pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, and other decisions reviewable by certiorari to the Court of Appeals. The procedures are similar to those provided by former Rule 115 except that the time limitations set out in the rule have been shortened to conform with the time limitations presently provided in the statute governing review of unemployment compensation decisions. The rule cautions that statutes governing review of the various types of decisions reviewable by certiorari may establish different time limitations.
Proof of service of the petition and the writ must be filed with the clerk of the appellate courts within 5 days after service. A copy of the petition and the writ must be provided to the attorney general whenever the state or a department or agency of the state is a party or the body to whom the writ is directed.
A completed statement of the case shall be attached to the petition (Form 133).
See appendix for form of the petition for a writ of certiorari (Form 115A) and of the writ of certiorari (Form 115B).
NOTE: For procedure to be followed for the filing of a petition for declaratory judgment to determine the validity of an administrative rule pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 14.44, see Rule 10 of the Special Rules of Practice for the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
