Court Procedures Rules 2006

This rule applies to a party to a proceeding if—

the party asserts that the Human Rights Act 2004 applies in the proceeding; or

the party is seeking a declaration of incompatibility in the proceeding.

The party must, within 7 days after filing the first document making the assertion or seeking the declaration, file in the court a notice stating the relevant matter mentioned in subrule (1).

See approved form 6.31 (Notice of a human rights matter) AF2024-51.

each other active party to the proceeding.

An affidavit of service of the notice on the Attorney-General and the commission must be filed in the court before the hearing of the proceeding starts or continues.
