When the supreme court's office receives the case record from the court below, what must that office do, and to whom?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file we read the transmission papers showing the record left the lower court's office, the supreme court's docket or intake entry showing when it arrived, and the party list giving names and addresses, since the notice is owed to the parties.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the duty as the provision frames it: the court clerk or other court officer of the supreme court, at the moment of receiving the case record from the clerk or officer of the lower court, must notify the parties of that fact, and the duty is 'immediately', so it follows receipt and admits no waiting for anything further.
Another reading notes what the provision does not fix: it says nothing about the form of the notice, about who counts as 'the parties' entitled to it, or about any consequence if the notification is late or never made, and it speaks only of the record arriving at the supreme court, not of notices owed when the record is filed in the court below.
Your judgment
If no notice of receipt appears in the file, how could a party show that the record had reached the supreme court, and when?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to set a form for the notice or a consequence for delay, or if a court decision explains who counts as a party for this notification.
