Notices to practitioners issued by the NSW District Registrar

Judge's copy documents 2001/2

Note: This Notice was revoked on 25 September 2009.

This notice replaces the "Notice to Practitioners - Judge's Copy Documents" issued 15 September 1988 and applies, subject to any directions by a Judge, to all final hearings other than those in Appeals, Tax Objections, Migration and Bankruptcy matters.

Once a matter has been set down for a final hearing, the solicitor for the applicant is to file a set of Judge's Copy Documents. This set of documents is to be filed not later than 21 days before the day set down for the final hearing, or, if there is less than 21 days between the setting down and the final hearing, as soon as possible.

The copy documents are to comprise a bound or stapled book, entitled "Judge's Copy Documents" and consisting of legible photocopies of:

(i) the originating process;
(ii) all pleadings;
(iii) any affidavit to be relied on at the trial (not those for any interlocutory purposes);
(iv) all particulars which have been furnished, whether in the form of a court document or a letter, and the requests for those particulars.

Where any amendments have been made to pleadings, the consolidated form of the pleading, not showing any matter that has been excised by amendment, should be included in the Judge's Copy Documents.

This notice does not apply to an interlocutory hearing. When allocating a date for an interlocutory hearing, the Judge will give appropriate directions for the filing of any copy documents.

The costs of preparing Judge's Copy Documents will be allowed on taxation.
