Reason #29382 the Supreme Court of Canada needs an bureaucratic overhaul...
...I tried to amend a Writ of Summons and had it rejected by the registry because while the changes are indeed underlined in accordance with the rules, they were not underlined IN RED. It doesn't say anything about red in the rules. I looked.
So now I am spending my billable hours going over 4 copies of a 10 page document, drawing over the computer-printed black underlines with a red pen and a ruler.
I might only need for the original to be in red (for one thing, because you can't expect that copies will come out in colour, since I can't pull a colour copier out of my ass any more than I can pull a colour printer), but since I have to drive half an hour to get to the courthouse, I'm not risking it being wrong again. Earth logic has no application here.
WTF is wrong with people? Do they sit around trying to figure out the stupidest, most moronic things they can come up with to make my life 8 times more difficult and their lives marginally easier?
