From 4pm on Friday 29 March 2019, the CITEC platform previously used for electronic filing of documents in the Common Law Division, Costs Court and some Commercial Court matters will no longer be accessible. Prior to this date, we recommend that Court users ensure they have retained copies of documents filed in CITEC for their own ongoing reference. After the 29 March 2019, copies of documents previously filed in CITEC can be obtained by contacting the relevant Registry to search the Court file.
Our registries are responsible for the Court's administration.
They can provide information on the filing of documents, pre-trial conferences, video links of proceedings, fee payment, and general procedural advice.

If you need advice about commencing, defending or appealing a legal action we have some information on representing yourself.
