Form Orcp 71A PDF Details

Dealing with legal forms and navigating the court system can be daunting, especially when it comes to correcting errors in official documents. The ORCP 71A form serves as a vital tool within the Oregon Circuit Court, specifically for Clackamas County, to address such challenges. This form is primarily used in cases involving marriage, allowing either the petitioner, the respondent, or the State of Oregon to request a correction to clerical mistakes found in judgment documents. These errors might range from discrepancies between the judgment's body and its “Money Judgment” or “Money Award” sections to simple oversights that occurred during the documentation process. The importance of this form lies in its ability to rectify errors that, although seemingly minor, can have significant impacts on the parties involved. The process is straightforward yet requires a careful description of the clerical error and how it should be corrected. By submitting an Ex Parte Motion to Correct Clerical Error in Judgment, individuals can ensure that the record accurately reflects what was intended, thereby bringing clarity and resolution to potentially confusing situations. This mechanism underscores the court's commitment to fairness and accuracy, allowing for corrections to be made in a way that aligns with the truth of the proceedings and the justice intended by the court's judgment.

Points and Authorities

ORCP 71A provides that clerical mistakes in judgments, orders, or other parts of the record and errors therein arising from oversight or omission may be corrected by the court at any time on its own motion or on the motion of any party and after such notice to all parties who have appeared, if any, as the court orders.

In Sea-Air Handling Services, Inc. v. Reed, 327 Or 25 (1998), the Supreme court stated that “in the absence of anything to the contrary in the record, a judgment entered in the register is regarded as stating an „absolute verity‟”. The

purpose of correcting a clerical error is to make the record speak the truth and conform it to what actually occurred. Marriage of Hopkins, 102 Or App 655, 658 (1990) (citing Hubbard v. Hubbard, 213 Or 482, 487 (1958)).
