Introduction
eLodgment enables any member of the public, whether they be practitioners, law firms, corporate bodies or self represented litigants to electronically lodge documents with the Federal Court of Australia and the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia.
eLodgment may be used to commence an action in either jurisdiction by enabling the lodgment of initiating documents and any supporting documents. Similarly, documents pertaining to existing matters may be lodged via eLodgment as long as the file number is known.
As the document(s) remain accessible via eLodgment users can monitor the progress of their elodgments as well as review the processed document(s) through their Lodgment History. They can access the sealed electronic versions of the documents should they require them to email or print out for service.
