Memorandum of Fact and Law - Cover Colours

It is requested that in respect of memoranda of fact and law filed after July 1, 2002, the covers should be of the following colours:

  1. for an appellant's memorandum, beige;
  2. for a respondent's memorandum, green; and
  3. for an intervener's memorandum, blue.

Book of authorities, statutes and regulations

Where possible the parties should file a Joint Book of Authorities with a burgundy cover. Where there is no agreement on a joint book of authorities each party should file a separate book of authorities with a cover the same colour as the filing party's memorandum of fact and law. If possible a party should avoid duplicating an authority already in the other party's book of authorities.

Authorities - Identifying Passages Relied On

Parties should identify, by coloured highlighting, the portions of cases on which they particularly intend to rely.
