Court Procedures Rules 2006

A party may, at any stage of a proceeding and without an order, appoint another solicitor in place of the solicitor then acting for the party.

If a party appoints another solicitor, the newly appointed solicitor must—

file a notice of the change of solicitor; and

serve a stamped copy of the notice on all other active parties and the party’s former solicitor.

See approved form 2.75 (Notice of change of solicitor) AF2026-20.

The notice must state the party’s address for service.

The party’s former solicitor remains the solicitor on the record until the newly appointed solicitor complies with subrule (2).
