if a document is required to be in accordance with an approved form—so far as is practicable, be in an approved form that complies with rule 2.12 or 2.13; and

be capable of being printed in the form in which it was created without any loss of content.

The electronic format approved by a Registrar for a Registry is available on the Court’s website at http://www.fedcourt.gov.au.

If the document is in an existing proceeding, it must be sent to the proper Registry by using the Court’s website at http://www.fedcourt.gov.au.

The person who sends the document must:

keep a paper or electronic copy of the document prepared in accordance with this rule; and

if ordered to do so by the Court, produce the hard copy of the document.
