500F Documents and things in the custody of a court
A party who seeks production of a document or thing in the custody of the Court or of another court may inform the Registrar in writing accordingly, identifying the document or thing.
If the document or thing is in the custody of the Court, the Registrar must produce the document or thing – in Court or to any person authorised to take evidence in the proceeding, as required by the party; or as the Court or a judge directs.
If the document or thing is in the custody of another court, the Registrar must, unless the Court or a judge has otherwise ordered – request the other court to send the document or thing to the Registrar; and after receiving it, produce the document or thing – in Court or to any person authorised to take evidence in the proceeding, as required by the party; or as the Court or a judge directs.
