Full Text of § 6-606
Plain-English Summary
Section 6-606 keeps fax filings to a manageable length. Every transmission is limited to 10 pages, and the cover sheet does not count toward that total. If a filer needs to send more than that, the rule allows it, but only with prior approval from the clerk at the receiving court — approval has to come before the extra pages go through, not after.
The section also requires each transmitted page to carry its own sequence marker within the transmission, written as something like "1 of 10," "2 of 10," and so on. That numbering lets the clerk confirm nothing dropped out along the way and the pages arrived in the right order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages can a single fax filing contain?
10 pages, not counting the cover sheet.
Can I send more than 10 pages if my filing requires it?
Yes, but only with prior approval from the clerk at the receiving court before you transmit the additional pages.
Does the cover sheet count toward the 10-page limit?
No. The limit excludes the cover sheet.
How should each page of a fax filing be labeled?
With its sequential number in the transmission, for example "1 of 10," "2 of 10," and so on through the last page.
What happens if a filing needs an original plus several copies that push it over the page limit?
Section 6-607 addresses that situation directly, allowing only the original to be sent by fax if the combined pages exceed the § 6-606 limit.
