The poll indicates the clerks are interpreting Rule 2.2 differently. Following is a summary of the poll. One clerk suggested if more than 10 pages are faxed, an extra fee should be charged for each additional page. Attorneys do not indicate whether it is there intent to file by fax or whether they are just faxing a copy for informational purposes. Not everyone pays and we do not have time to try and collect.
Facsimile copies are somewhat messy and hard to read.
Documents are faxed and the originals follow in the next day's mail. The originals are returned and a request is made for the fee. Based on the poll, filing by facsimile transmission seems to be working. The worst fears of this Committee when approving N.D.R.Ct. 2.2 have not materialized.
