15. Contact. The clerk uses the last known contact information of the parties and counsel to contact them. The parties and their counsel must immediately inform the clerk of any change to that information. In each pleading, counsel of record must provide their name, that of their law firm and full contact information including email address, permanent court number and locker number, if any. An unrepresented party must provide contact information in the notice of appeal or the motion for leave to appeal and in each subsequent pleading.
Change of counsel. A party may change counsel by sending the other parties, the clerk and former counsel a notice of change giving the name, address, telephone number and email address of new counsel.
Withdrawal of mandate. A party no longer wishing to be represented by counsel must also send to the other parties, to the party’s own counsel and to the clerk a notice to that effect in which the party’s full contact information including email, if available, is provided.
A change of counsel or a decision to no longer be represented by counsel has no effect on the hearing date unless a judge decides otherwise after considering the consequences of the decision on timelines.
