Vt. Sup. Ct. Promulgation Order of Apr. 7, 2025: VRAP30(b)and(e)
Promulgation Order Amending Rule 30(b) and (e) of the Vermont Rules of Appellate Procedure
STATE OF VERMONT
VERMONT SUPREME COURT
APRIL TERM, 2025
Order Promulgating Amendment to Rule 30(b) and (e) of the Vermont Rules of Appellate
Procedure
Pursuant to the Vermont Constitution, Chapter II, § 37, and 12 V.S.A. § 1, it is hereby ordered:
1. That Rule 30(b) and (e) of the Vermont Rules of Appellate Procedure be amended as
follows (new matter underlined; deleted matter struck through):
RULE 30. PRINTED CASE
(b) Supplemental Printed Case. The appellee may assemble file a supplemental printed case.
The appellee must file any supplemental printed case when the appellee's principal brief is filed.
******
(e) Filing Deadlines. The appellant must file a required printed case, or any optional printed
case, when the appellant’s principal brief is filed. The appellee must file a supplemental printed
case, if any, when the appellee’s principal brief is filed.
(e)(f) Costs of Production. Mindful that the entire record is always available to the Court, the
parties must not include unnecessary material in the required printed case or supplemental
printed case. The cost of producing a required paper printed case is a taxable cost. If any party
unnecessarily produces a printed case or causes unnecessary parts of the record to be included in
the required printed case, the Court may impose the cost of producing those parts on that party.
Reporter’s Notes—2025 Amendment
Rule 30(e) is added to state the filing deadlines for a required printed
case and any optional printed case. These deadlines were inadvertently
omitted when the requirement of a printed case was reinstated in 2024.
Rule 30(e) provides that the appellant must file a required printed case,
or any optional printed case, when the appellant’s principal brief is
filed. The deadline for an appellee to file any supplemental printed
case, formerly subdivision (b), is unchanged and is now in subdivision
(e). Former subdivision (e), relating to costs of production, is relabeled
as (f).
2. That this amendment be prescribed and promulgated, effective on July 1, 2025. The
Reporter’s Notes are advisory.
3. That the Chief Justice is authorized to report these amendments to the General Assembly in
accordance with the provisions of 12 V.S.A. § 1, as amended.
Dated in Chambers at Montpelier, Vermont, this 7th day of April, 2025.
