Ian - your tale is sadly a common one, particularly amongst certain County Courts (Edmonton being the prime example currently) who appear to be particularly poorly or inadequately staffed. In my experience at least, thankfully, the Courts will normally take a pragmatic view if as in that case an order is simply made impossible to comply with by virtue of the late typing/serving of the same. That said, it would be a brave litigant who criticised Court staff openly in Court... Always err on the side of caution in any application statement and say something along the lines of "unfortunately, it appears that the Court could not be typed until *** date meaning..."
