Official Notes and Commentary

Comment to 1997 changes: Former Rules 80(a) - (c) and 82 are merged. Paragraph 43.2(e) allows the court of appeals to vacate the trial court’s judgment and dismiss the case; paragraph 43.2(f) allows the court of appeals to dismiss the appeal. Both provisions are new but codify current practice. Paragraph 43.3(a) is moved here from former Rule 81(c). Paragraph 43.3(b), allowing a remand in the interest of justice, is new. Subdivisions 43.4 and 43.5 are from former Rule 82.
