It has come to the attention of the Commission
that counsel still routinely file requests for
extensions of time to transmit the record and/or
requests that the circuit court order that the
transcript and all other portions of the record be
transmitted to circuit court, even for the vast majority
of cases which are reviewed de novo. Effective July 1,
2015, the Maryland Rules changed. For cases heard de
novo, no record is to be transmitted unless ordered by
the circuit court and no additional time is required to
transmit a record that has not been ordered to be
transmitted in the first place. The changes are outlined
below, with relevant portions of the new rules quoted in
bold for reference. |
|
|
DE NOVO |
|
|
Pursuant to Md. Rule 7-202(d)(2), when filing a petition
for judicial review DE NOVO, the petitioner MUST:
(1) attach to the petition:
(A) a certificate
that copies of the petition and attachments were served
…, and
(B) copies of (i) the employee claim form
and (ii) all of the Commission’s orders in the
petitioner’s case.
Pursuant to Md. Rule 7-206.1(c)(2)), when filing a
petition for judicial review DE NOVO, the petitioner
MUST NOT:
(1) File a request for extension of
time to transmit the record unless the court has ordered
that the transcript and all of portions of the record be
transmitted to circuit court in the first instance; OR
(2) Routinely request an extension of time to
transmit the record unless the court reporter requires
prepayment from you and your billing practices will not
permit the reporter sufficient time to prepare the
transcript. (Note: Court reporters no longer routinely
require prepayment from those who pay timely. Hint: Pay
timely.); OR
(3) Routinely request that the
circuit court order that the transcript and all of
portions of the record be transmitted to circuit court. |
|
|
ON THE RECORD |
|
|
Pursuant to Md. Rule 7-202(c)(1)(D), when filing a
petition for judicial review ON THE RECORD, the
petitioner MUST:
(1) state whether any issue is
to be reviewed on the record before the Commission and,
(2) if it is, identify the issue.
When
filing a petition for judicial review ON THE RECORD, the
petitioner MUST NOT:
(1) Routinely request an
extension of time to transmit the record unless the
court reporter requires prepayment from you and your
billing practices will not permit the reporter
sufficient time to prepare the transcript. (Note: Court
reporters no longer routinely require prepayment from
those who pay timely. Hint: Pay timely.) |
