The brief or memorandum is a document filed by each party. It consists of a written argument and schedules. The written argument cannot exceed 30 pages. It serves to set out the grounds and arguments in support of each party’s position. The schedules include, among other things, a copy of the judgment rendered at first instance as well as the exhibits and depositions necessary for the Court to decide the issues in dispute (s. 51 R.C.A.Q.Civ.M.).
In some matters (see art. 374 C.C.P.), a memorandum is filed instead of a brief. As with the brief, the memorandum contains a written argument and schedules. Unless a judge decides otherwise, however, the written argument in a memorandum cannot exceed 10 pages.
