Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a court rule mandating brief page limits and paragraph numbering, with dismissal for non-compliance, is unconstitutional

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW — Is a rule of court unconstitutional which mandates that an appeal brief cannot exceed a certain number of pages, and which mandates that the appellant/appellee number the paragraphs in the brief, and if either or both is not complied with, one’s appeal brief will not be filed and so one’s appeal will be dismissed. Does a judge/justice have to give reasons for their ruling. Is it valid to cite and use the rule/statute under attack as the reason to deny the attack on the rule, to declare the rule legal. 1
