Guides are available with instructions on how to complete the most commonly used forms. Formats All documents must retain the content and be capable of being printed in the form in which they were created. Where a document or form requires a signature, it must be submitted in a format which retains the signature. The Regulations require a fee to be paid when certain documents are lodged or filed with the Court. The Court's electronic filing system will help the sender to select the filing fees which are applicable to the proceeding or appeal.
Payment is made online by credit card.
In certain circumstances, the fees may be exempted, waived or deferred for up to 30 days. An application form for an exemption or waiver of fees is provided on the Internet site. If payment is not made on-line, because an exemption or waiver is being sought, or for any other reason, an explanation of that reason must be included. If one or more copies of documents are required for service, this should be specified. The first copy is provided by the Federal Court.
