The Court of Appeal held that UCPR r 661(2), which provides that a document embodying an order is to be drawn up by a party, does not invalidate the Court of Appeal registry's practice of preparing the order document itself. The registrar is not obliged to draw up the document but may choose to do so, and an order prepared and placed on the file by the registry is duly filed. The application for a direction that the registrar sign and file a party-prepared duplicate order was refused because a valid filed order already existed.
