2.28 Documents accepted for filing—removal from Court file and storage
A document which has been accepted for filing will be removed from a Court file if:
the Court has ordered that the document be removed from the Court file:
on its own initiative; or
on the application of a party under rule 6.01 or subrule 16.21(2); or
for an affidavit—the Court has ordered that the affidavit be removed from the Court file:
on its own initiative; or
on the application of a party under subrule 29.03(2); or
the Court is satisfied that the document:
is otherwise an abuse of process of the Court; or
should not, under rule 2.27, have been accepted for filing.
A party may apply to the Court for an order under subparagraph (1)(c)(i) or (ii) that a document be removed from the Court file.
A document removed from a Court file under this rule must be stored:
if an order mentioned in this rule specifies a way to store the document—in the way specified in the order; or
otherwise—as directed by the District Registrar.
