Steps
In the Provincial (Family) Court, the application <span class="noglossary">will</span> be made under Rule 18(8) of the Provincial Court Family Rules, which gives a judge the authority to correct "a clerical mistake or omission in an order".
In the Supreme Court, the application <span class="noglossary">will</span> be made under Rule 15-1(18) of the Supreme Court Family Rules, also called the ''slip rule'', which gives the court the authority to correct a "clerical mistake" in an order resulting from "an accidental slip or omission"." This rule also allows the court to amend an order to decide an issue which should have been decided but wasn't. The scope of the Supreme Court rule is a bit broader than the Provincial Court rule.
