Local Court Rules 2009

This rule applies to any document that is permitted to be filed using the Online Registry.

In any proceedings, a document permitted to be filed using the Online Registry may be filed in the Court on behalf of a party to the proceeding by a registered user who is—

a party to proceedings (including a police prosecutor), or

a relevant legal practitioner for a party in proceedings.

A document that is filed by means of the Online Registry is taken to have been filed when the Online Registry gives notice of acceptance of the document.

Notice of acceptance of a document, and of the date and time of the acceptance, is to be given, by means of the Online Registry, to the registered user by whom the document was filed.

When filed by means of the Online Registry, a document that is required to be signed by a person is taken to have been duly authenticated for the purposes of clause 5 of Schedule 1 to the Electronic Transactions Act 2000 if the person’s name is printed where his or her signature would otherwise appear.
