Notices of Motion
23 February 2005
The court in Queensland has adopted the following process for the listing of notices of motion.
A notice of motion must generally be accompanied by an affidavit in support of the motion and an " information sheet " which is available from the registry. If an urgent hearing is required, a letter which outlines the circumstances of urgency must also be provided to the court.
The party lodging the documents must pay the filing fee before the documents will be accepted. However, the Federal Court of Australia Regulations 2004 set out circumstances in which a fee is not payable.
The party lodging the documents will be given a receipt for the documents. The notice of motion and accompanying material will then be referred to the docket judge for allocation of a hearing date. Registry staff will contact the person whose name appears on the receipt regarding collection of service copies of the documents as soon as they are available.
When service copies of the notice of motion are returned, they will be accompanied by a letter that contains directions made in respect of the hearing of the motion.
