Minn. Juve. Prot. P. 14.07

Amended 9/1/2019.

2019 Advisory Committee Comment

Rule 14 is amended in 2019 as part of a revision of the Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure. Rule 14 was formerly codified as Rule 15.

Former Rule 15.02, subd. 1(b) has been transferred to Rule 31.01, subd. 2(a), which requires motions to transfer jurisdiction to a tribal court to be served additionally upon parents who are participants to the proceedings. Rule 31.01, subd. 2(a) does not require service of a transfer motion upon a child. That requirement, formerly codified in Rule 15.02, subd. 1(b), was based upon ICWA guidelines that have since been rescinded.

Rule 14.02, subd. 2, governs methods of service by filers, and is similar to Rule 9.03, which governs methods of service by court administration staff. One important distinction is that Rule 9.03 recognizes court administration staff's discretion under General Rules of Practice 14.02(a) and 14.03(f) to serve by e-mail without written agreement by the recipient. Under General Rule of Practice 14, the act of designating an e-mail address for receipt of service in a case constitutes consent to service by e-mail from court administration staff. This consent only extends to service by court administration staff. Thus, Juvenile Protection Procedure Rule 14.02, subd. 2 allows filers to serve by e-mail only if service through the E-Filing System is not required and the recipient has agreed in writing to receive service by e-mail.
