is amended to remove potential ambiguity in the existing rule. The rule is ambiguous
Rules of Civil Procedure
Rule: 6.01
Jurisdiction: MN
Bluebook Citation: Minn. R. Civ. P. 6.01
because of the odd definition of "holiday" in Minnesota Statutes, section 645.44, subdivision 5, and its ambiguity over how Columbus Day is treated. Additionally, because the rules explicitly provide for service by mail, the court recognized that a "mail holiday" should be a "legal holiday" for the purpose of this rule. The rule excuses filing on the last day of a time period if the court administrator's office is inaccessible. The amended rule replaces an indefinite concept of the court administrator's office being "inaccessible" with a more definite formulation: the office of the administrator of the court where the action is pending must actually be closed.
