Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005

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

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

is authorised under rule 4.4 to sign documents on the party’s behalf, or

has been given permission to file the document on behalf of a person who is authorised under rule 4.4 to sign documents on the party’s behalf.

A document that is filed by means of Online Registry is taken to have been filed when 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 Online Registry, to the registered user by whom the document was filed.

Despite a document being submitted to be filed by means of Online Registry, and notice of acceptance given by Online Registry, the document may subsequently be rejected by the court if the document fails to comply with any substantial requirements of the approved form or the rules in relation to such a document.
