Supreme Court of Oklahoma

In Re Amendment to 12 O.s. Ch. 15 App. 1 Rules of Oklahoma Supreme Court

May 8, 20232023 OK 55

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court issued an Order of Clarification amending Rule 1.21(a) to require that a petition in error be filed within thirty days of the filing of the judgment, decree, or appealable order with the district court clerk, and to incorporate proof‑of‑service language consistent with 12 O.S. §990A and Owens v. Owens. The amendment aligns the rule with statutory text and recent case law, while the dissent warns that the change conflicts with longstanding precedent.
