Court orders under the UCPR are made when pronounced by the judge; the subsequent sealing by a registrar under r 661(2) is an administrative act that does not affect validity. A party who institutes proceedings against respondents cannot challenge those respondents' standing to participate. Filing a notice of appeal does not operate as a stay of proceedings; a separate stay application must be made. A notice to admit under rr 189 and 215 UCPR cannot be used to require a party to prove standing.
