Rule 12-7.11 - [Effective until 1/1/2025] Rejection of Filings(a) Pleadings, briefs or documents are to be liberally construed and accepted for filing unless their form or content significantly impedes proper review. (b) Pleadings, briefs, or documents that are not in substantial compliance with this Court Operating Rule 12, commission orders, or applicable statutes, shall not be filed. The commission counsel may return such papers with an indication of the deficiencies therein and the reasons for not filing the same. The mere fact of filing shall not waive any failure to comply with these rules, commission orders, or applicable statutes, and the commission may require the filing of an amendment to a pleading, brief, or other document, or entertain appropriate motions in connection therewith.
