Clerical mistakes in decisions, decrees, orders, or other parts of the record, and errors therein arising from oversight or omission, may be corrected by the judge at any time on the judge's own initiative or on the motion of any party filed before the decree is entered, and after such notice, if any, as the judge orders.
R.I. Work. Comp. Ct. R. 1.11
Reporter's Notes. This rule is self-explanatory and modeled after Rule 60(A) of the Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure. It also recognizes the procedure outlined in W.C.C. - R.P. 2.20 which provides that all parties will be provided seventy-two (72) hours' notice before a decree may be entered. It is anticipated that all clerical errors will be recognized and brought to the attention of the court prior to the time any proposed order or decree is entered. This rule also anticipates that errors which are brought to light following the entry of the decree may be corrected by the judge who entered the original decree if it involves a clerical error, and in all other situations, would be subject to review by the Appellate Division of the Workers' Compensation Court.
