Court Procedures Rules 2006

This rule applies to a document if—

the registrar rejects the document under this division; but

either—

the registrar subsequently accepts the document; or

the court or a judicial officer subsequently directs the registrar to accept the document.

The registrar must record the filing of the document in the court and, if appropriate, seal or stamp the document.

If the registrar records the filing of the document, the registrar must—

if the document is filed in paper form—return any copies of the document filed with the document for sealing or stamping; or

if the document is filed in electronic form—give written notice of the acceptance of the document.

The document is taken to have been filed in the court on the day it would have been filed if the registrar had not rejected the document.

Rule 6126 (2) (Date of filing) deals with the date of filing.

If the document is rejected by the registrar (whether or not more than once), the document is taken to have been filed in the court on the day it was first filed.
