Each document uploaded must be accurately described.

If the document is an affidavit, the description of the document must include the name of the deponent and the date that the affidavit was sworn or affirmed.

If a document that is required to be signed under the Criminal Procedure Act 1986, the Local Court Act 2007 or these rules is uploaded, the document must be a scanned copy that includes a clear, legible copy of the signature of the person who signed the document.

If an affidavit or statement of evidence is uploaded, it must include—

A person who has filed a document by uploading it is taken to have agreed that, if the Court so requires, he or she will file the original document in accordance with the Court’s directions.
