Notices to practitioners issued
by the NSW District Registrar
Judge's
copy documents 2001/2
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.
