As the courts and practitioners continue to adapt to the new realities of litigation, so too have the interpretation and application of the Alberta Rules of Court. This paper provides an overview of significant case law that has interpreted the Rules of Court on interesting points of law since September 2022. Topics addressed include limitation periods, summary judgement, amendments to pleadings, dismissal for delay, expert reports, costs, time for service of statement of claim, vexatious litigants, and appeal rights.
