10.74 Certain documents to be referred to Attorney‑General’s Department
If, after receiving a request for service in this jurisdiction, a Registrar is of the opinion:
that the request does not comply with rule 10.73; or
that the document to which the request relates is not a foreign judicial document; or
that compliance with the request may infringe Australia’s sovereignty or security;
the Registrar must refer the request to the Attorney‑General’s Department, together with a statement of the Registrar’s opinion.
The Attorney‑General’s Department will deal with misdirected and non‑compliant requests, make arrangements for the service of extrajudicial documents and assess and decide questions concerning Australia’s sovereignty and security.
