PRELIMINARY MATTERS
PurposeThe purpose of these rules is to provide for the orderly and expeditious administration of justice in the court.
Application and scopeThese rules apply to:any prosecution, proceeding, action or appeal, as the case may be, within the jurisdiction of the court and instituted in relation to any matter of a criminal nature or arising from or incidental to any such prosecution, proceeding, action or appeal, in accordance with subsection 482(1) and section 482.1 of the Code; andany appeal from conviction, acquittal, sentence or other order made pursuant to summary conviction proceedings, within the jurisdiction of the court, taken pursuant to The Summary Offences Procedure Act, 1990.

COMMENCING AN APPEAL AND COUNSEL OF RECORD
Commencing an appealAn offender who wishes to appeal shall commence the appeal by filing a Notice of Appeal within 30 days after the date of the imposition of sentence.If the Attorney General wishes to appeal, the Attorney General shall commence the appeal by filing a Notice of Appeal within 30 days after the date of acquittal or the date of the imposition of sentence.For greater certainty, if an offender appeals from conviction, or conviction and sentence, including an appeal from a decision made pursuant to Part XXIV (Dangerous Offenders and Long-term Offenders) of the Code:the period within which the offender must commence the appeal begins to run from the date on which the sentence is imposed; andthe offender shall file one Notice of Appeal only.
Form A: Where offender is appellantThe Notice of Appeal in Form A is for all appeals commenced by or on behalf of an offender, whether represented or self-represented and whether in custody or not.The senior official of every penal institution shall, on request, supply to any inmate in that penal institution a copy of the Notice of Appeal in Form A for the inmate’s use.If an offender is self-represented when he or she submits a Notice of Appeal and subsequently retains counsel, the counsel may amend the Notice of Appeal or file a new Notice of Appeal at any time before the offender’s factum is filed by filing the amended Notice of Appeal or the new Notice of Appeal.
Form B: Where Attorney General is appellantThe Notice of Appeal in Form B is for all appeals commenced by the Attorney General.
Counsel of recordA counsel who signs a Notice of Appeal on behalf of an offender is deemed to be the counsel of record.Until an appeal is set down for hearing, a counsel may withdraw by filing a notice in Form C, with proof of service in any manner permitted by Part Three of The Queen’s Bench Rules, of his or her intention to cease acting for the offender.After an appeal is set down for hearing, a counsel who wishes to withdraw shall apply to the court on three days’ notice for an order permitting the counsel to withdraw.On and after the expiry of 10 days from the date of filing of the notice in Form C or from the date of any court order obtained pursuant to subrule (3), no documents respecting the appeal are to be served on the counsel who has withdrawn pursuant to the notice, and service on that counsel is no longer deemed to be service on the offender.
REQUISITIONING COURT FILE AND ORDERING TRANSCRIPTS
Obligation to order transcriptOn the filing of a Notice of Appeal, the registrar shall:requisition the court file pertaining to the appeal from the court that heard the matter; andif, in the opinion of the registrar, based on the nature of the proceedings, a transcript is necessary, order a transcript of the proceedings or a part thereof.
