Last revised April 05, 2019

In Lloyd, DeBeck & Partners Ltd. v. Cumis Life Insurance Company, 1984 CanLII 744 (BC CA) the court held that when calculating the time limit for bringing an appeal, if a judgment is not pronounced in open court, it is considered pronounced on the date the judge's written reasons are filed in the registry in which the matter commenced. Court of Appeal Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 77, s. 14(1) discusses the time limit for bringing an appeal.
