The following excerpt is from S.M. v. B.M., 2008 ABQB 652 (CanLII):

In Paciorkowska v. Paciorkowska, 2004 ABQB 585, I concluded that the failure of the husband’s lawyer to appear should not prejudice the husband, and leave was granted to re-open my previous order under Rule 330 which reads as follows:– Further directions 330 If, after a judgment or order has been entered, it appears that further directions are necessary to ensure to any party the relief to which he is entitled, the court may make such further or other order and give such further or other relief as the nature of the case requires, if the further or other relief does not necessitate any variation of the original judgment or order as to any matter decided by it.
