as it does now. (CR 6 indicates it was amended on April 28, 2015. I cannot quickly find the history on CR 6, including what was amended in 2015.)</span><u></u><u></u></p>

PR reject the claim, can anyone verify that CR 6(a) does not apply to the notice provisions of RCW 11.40.051 and 30 days means 30 days? I have seen some cases (ex. in re Stover) but nothing specifically on point.<br clear="all">
