Family Focused Protocol – Holiday Closure Filing, Service and Snooze Periods
The Court of King’s Bench will be on an urgent matter-only hearing schedule from December 24, 2026, to January 3, 2027, inclusive. In-person filing will be unavailable. Requests for leave for an urgent hearing will be reviewed daily and a response provided.
Any other FFP materials may be submitted through the Filing Digital Service and email filing during this time, but submissions will not be reviewed until after January 3, 2027.
Service and snooze periods under the Family Focused Protocol (FFP) will be suspended during the period of December 24, 2026, to January 3, 2027. These days will not be counted in the calculation of FFP service and snooze periods. The suspension of service and snooze periods does not affect any statutory limitation period or deadline under the Alberta Rules of Court.
