Advisory Committee Comment-2009 Amendments
Rule 116.03, subdivision 1, is amended to change the timing for filing a statement of the case by a respondent to 14, rather than 10, days after service of the petitioner's statement of the case. This change makes the respondent's statement of the case due on the same day a notice of related appeal would be due. See Rule 104.01, subdivision 4, as amended.
