RULES OF APPEAL
ARE DEFORMED
(United States Circuit Court of
j Appeals Adopts New Rules
of Equity.
EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1
I Reforms Promulgated Thursday
Will Greatly Lessen Cost
of Litigation.
I In order to reduce the coot of litiga?
tion end to moke He procedure con?
form to that of ehe hierher tribunal,
the United State? Cr curt Court of Ap?
peal? Thursday afternoon promulgated
aa amendment to the rules of equity
and admiralty practice and bankruptcy
cases, whJoh are taken verbatim from
the new rules prom u 1 gated by Chief
Justice White on November 4 for Untied
States Supreme Court practice. Tak?
ing bodily rules Kos. 75. 7? and 77 of
the Supreme Court, all relating to the
preparation of records by appellants,
the Circuit Court of Appeals Incorpo?
rated them Into Rule No. tl of the
equity rules of practice adopted by
this court April 1. 1912.
The reform accomplished .Thursday
will greatly curtail the expenses of
appeals In equity, admiralty and bank?
ruptcy esses The rules provide for
diminishing the sine of records by
which suits are taken from the trial
court to the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals for review, by promulgat?
ing rules for compelling the exclusion
of Immaterial documents, the giving
of testimony In narrative Instead of
mterrogatory form, or the presenta?
tion of a record which shall contain
only the decree of the trial court and
the questions at Issue, if agreeable to
both parties.
No Lang Traaseripis.
Under the new rules, which become
effective February 1, HIS, only the
decree and the very marrow of the
proceedings are necessary for the
record, Instead of a transcript of the
detailed evidence and pleadings of the
entire case. Certain limitations, how?
ever, are imposed on the exercise of
the right <o cut the record to the
marrow, giving the appellee and the
trial court the rlsrht to pass upon mat?
ter to t)e exolud- d. Formal and Im?
material portions of the record of the
trial court are not to be Incorporated
in the record for the appellate court.
According to a statement made by
Chief Justice White a? the time the
rules were promulgated from the
United States Supreme Court bench,
the new rules would make It possible
for the appellate court not to reverse
suits merely because of errors not
actually prejudicial to the vital point
at issue.
New Rades.
The amendments to the rules are as
follows:
"75. Record on Appeal?Reduction and
Preparation.
"In case of appeal:
"(a) It shall be the duty of the ap?
pellant or his solicitor to file with the
clerk of the court from which the ap?
peal Is prosecuted, together with proof
or acknowledgment of service of a
copy on the appellee or his solicitor, a
praeclpe which shall Indicate the por?
tions of the record to be Incorporated
into the transcript on such appeal.
Should the appellee or his solicitor de?
sire additional portions of the record
incorporated into the transcript, he
shall flit with the clerk of the court
his praeclpe also within ten days
thereafter, unless the time shall be
enlarged by tne court or a judge there?
of, indicating such additional portions
of the record deeired by him.
'(b) The evidence to be included in
the record shall not he set forth In full,
but shall be stated in simple and con?
densed form, all parts not essential to
the decision of the questions present?
ed by the appeal being omitted and
the testimony of witnesses being stat-l
e.i only In narrative form, save that if!
cither party desires it. and the court
or Judge so directs, any part of the
testimony shall be reproduced in the
exact words of the witness. The duty
of so condensing and stating the evi?
dence shall rest primarily on the ap?
pellant, who shall prepare his state?
ment thereof and lodge the same in the
clerk's ofTS-e for the examination of
the other parties at or before the time
for filing his praeclpe under paragraph
a of this rula He shall also noUfy the
other parties or their solicitors of such
lodgment, and shall name a time and ?
place when ha shall ask the court or
Judge to approve the statement, the
time so named to be at least ton days
after such notice. At the expiration
of the time named, or sucb further time
as the court or Judge may allow, the,
statement, toge-her with any objec-j
tlons made or amendments proposed by ?
any party, shall be presented to the
court or the judge, and if the state
j mint be true, complete and properly
prepared, It shall be approved by the
court or judge, ai d if if t.e not trt;e,
complete or properly pr< pared. It shall
!?? :? ::d? s. ur.1t r the direction of the
court or Judg ?. and shall then be ap?
proved. When approved, it shall be I
fl-d in the clerk's office and become a
'. part ' C the record for the purposes of
; the at peal.
"<c? If any differ er. r-? arise between
