  • None; the Court may validate or set aside service under r 12-1.
  • A deeming rule that fixes the START of other periods, not a duty. Related deemed dates: service by any mode between 4:00 pm and midnight, or on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, is effective on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday (r 12-13(2)); registered mail is effective on the date in the post office confirmation of delivery, or if none, the date the sender receives it (r 12-13(3)); fax is effective on the date of transmission (r 12-13(5)); electronic transmission on the date in the acknowledgment of receipt (r 12-13(6)). The Information Note printed under r 12-13 cross-refers to "section 27 of The Interpretation Act, 1995" for the definition of "holiday"; that Act is repealed and the current definition is in The Legislation Act, SS 2019, c L-10.2, s 2-29.
