→The Slip Rule
===The Slip Rule===
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 : # Correct a "clerical mistake" in an order resulting from "an accidental slip or omission." This rule also allows the court to amend # Amend an order to decide an issue that should have been decided but wasn't. The scope of the Supreme Court rule is a bit broader than its counterpart in the Provincial Court Family Rules.
These applications are normally brought before the same judge that made the order being reviewed, but if that's not possible or convenient, another judge of that court can hear it and make necessary changes.
A useful case to read is ''[https://canlii.ca/t/k0vl1 O.K. v. I.C.M.]'', 2023 BCSC 1893, which illustrates the application of the "slip rule" under Rule 15-1(18) to do both two different things:* fix a mistake, and* decide an issue that should have been but wasn't
