A Temporary Order from the MN Supreme Court clarifying that pending a decision in a case now on appeal, a demand for removal/appeal from conciliation court to district court is effective by complying with either Minn. Gen. R. P. 521(b) (service perfected either by first class mail or personal service-- within 20 day removal period), or Minn. R. Civ. P. 4.05 (personal service or return of affidavit acknowledging service by mail).
This order is necessitated by the appellate court decision in Roehrdanz v. Brill. The Supreme Court granted the petition for review of that decision. It also approved a Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis motion to serve and file a brief as amicus curiae in support of the petitioner.
