Local Court Rules 2009

Service of a document (other than an originating document) required or permitted by the Court to be served on a person in proceedings may be effected—

by means of personal service, or

by posting a copy of the document, addressed to the person, to the person’s business or residential address, or

by leaving a copy of the document, addressed to the person—

at the person’s address for service, or

if the person is not an active party, at the person’s business or residential address,

by faxing a copy of the document, addressed to the person, to the person’s facsimile number (if that method of service has been consented to by the person), or

by transmitting an electronic copy of the document, addressed to the person, to the person’s electronic service address (if that method of service has been consented to by the person), or

in the case of service on a corporation, by serving the document on the corporation in any manner in which service of such a document may, by law, be served on the corporation.

In the case of a person who has engaged a legal practitioner in the proceedings (and the legal practitioner has agreed to accept service or the person has filed a notice of appearance or notice of appointment which includes an address for service) service of a document on the person may also be effected—

by serving the document personally on the legal practitioner, or

by posting a copy of the document, addressed to the legal practitioner, to the legal practitioner’s business address, or

by leaving a copy of the document, addressed to the legal practitioner, in the legal practitioner’s DX box at that address or in another DX box for transmission to that DX box (unless the notice of appearance or notice of appointment does not include a DX address), or

by faxing a copy of the document to the legal practitioner’s facsimile number (unless the notice of appearance or notice of appointment does not include a facsimile number), or

by transmitting an electronic copy of the document to the legal practitioner’s electronic service address (unless the notice of appearance or notice of appointment does not include an electronic service address).

Despite any other provision of this rule, a document may be served under this rule by facsimile or other electronic means without consent if the court so orders.
