Court Procedures Rules 2006

This rule applies if a party to a proceeding relies on the Human Rights Act 2004 for relief.

The party’s pleading or originating application must state—

the human right that the party relies on, including—

the relevant content of the right; and

any particular aspect of the right that the party relies on; and

the facts on which the party relies to assert that the Human Rights Act 2004 applies to the proceeding; and

if the Human Rights Act 2004, section 40C applies in the proceeding—

the human right the party alleges was breached in contravention of that Act, section 40B; and

the details of the alleged breach; and

the relief sought.

The requirements of this rule are additional to the requirements of—

for a proceeding started, or ordered to be continued as if started, by an originating claim—division 2.2.2 (Originating claims); and

for a proceeding started, or ordered to be continued as if started, by an originating application—division 2.2.3 (Originating applications).
