Court Procedures Rules 2006

This rule applies to a document or thing that the registrar has in relation to a proceeding, whether or not the document or thing—

is an exhibit; or

was produced on subpoena.

The registrar must not permit the document or thing to be removed from the registry except on application signed by the solicitor for a party to the proceeding.

The registrar may—

permit the document or thing to be removed from the registry on any conditions the registrar considers appropriate; or

refuse to permit the document or thing to be removed.

If a solicitor removes the document or thing from the registry with the registrar’s permission, the solicitor is taken to undertake to the court that—

the document or thing will be kept in the personal custody of the solicitor or counsel briefed by the solicitor in the proceeding; and

the document or thing will be returned to the registry in the same condition, order and packaging in which it was removed, when directed by the registrar; and

the solicitor will comply with the conditions (if any) to which the permission is subject.

This rule applies subject to any direction of the court under rule 6608 (Removal, return, inspection etc of subpoenaed documents and things).
