These forms can be found on the UCPR forms website.

The Summons (Supervisory Jurisdiction) (UCPR form 107) is used where the relief sought is based on a previously recorded error, or a jurisdictional error made by the original court, tribunal or body.
If you are representing yourself in a case, you should consider seeking legal advice before filling in this form, as the law in relation to when the Court of Appeal can intervene in its supervisory jurisdiction is complex.
Responding to claims or allegations
The following forms can be used if you are responding to a claim or allegation that has been served on you. These forms will only be available to you once you have opened up an existing case. You can find your case by logging into your account on the Online Registry and entering your case details.
If the Court has given leave to vary the content of the Defence that you lodged originally, you may file an Amended Defence.

If circumstances arise that the plaintiff has served you with an Amended Statement of Claim under UCPR 19.1(1), you may file a Defence to Amended Statement of Claim.
If you intend to file a Defence to Amended Statement of Claim, it must be filed within 14 days of you being served with the Amended Statement of Claim.
Notice of Appearance (UCPR 6/6A)
The purpose of a Notice of Appearance (UCPR form 6) is to ensure that you have been included on the Court record. The address you supply on your Notice of Appearance will be added to the Court record. The Court will then use this address for any correspondence with you.
Notice to Plead Facts - Money Claims (UCPR 16)
This form is used by the defendant to request more details about the facts relating to money claims that the plaintiff has outlined in their Statement of Claim.
To file a defence, you may file the Notice to Plead Facts form (UCPR 16) within 28 days of receipt of the Statement of Claim.
Once the plaintiff receives the court-sealed Notice to Plead Facts (that you will need to print and send to them), the plaintiff must serve you with an Amended Statement of Claim containing more facts about how the debt arose, and how the amounts they are seeking to recover were calculated.
Notice of Payment (UCPR 34)
You can file a Notice of Payment (UCPR 34) if you have paid the full amount identified as owing to the plaintiff in the Statement of Claim served on you. This includes interest, fees and legal costs. You cannot file this form if that claim sought anything other than money from you, or if the plaintiff did not identify the amount of interest owing, or did not specify the dollar amount of costs to be paid.
If you file a Notice of Payment, the plaintiff is unable to take any further action against you, unless the Court orders otherwise.
This form is used to support the facts outlined in a summons. The Points of Claim provides details of what an applicant says the legal and factual issues are that entitle the applicant to what is claimed in the summons.
Points of Defence
This document responds, or provides an answer, to the Points of Claim.
In this document, it is usual to respond to each claim detailed in separate paragraphs. If the Points of Defence ‘admits’ a claim, this means the respondent agrees with what is claimed in a specific paragraph. If the Points of Defence ‘denies’ a claim, this means that the respondent does not agree with what is claimed in a specific paragraph.
In your Points of Defence, you can also include legal issues that you claim demonstrate that you are not responsible for any breaches of the law or that the applicant is not entitled to what they are seeking in their summons.
If your matter is proceeding within the Local Court, you may file this form only after the Court has given leave to file a reply to a defence. If you intend to file a Reply (UCPR 8), it must be served within 14 days of service of the Defence.

Statement of Cross Claim (UCPR 9)
This form is filed when a defendant in an existing case takes action against the plaintiff(s) in the original claim, or against an entirely new party. If the Cross Claim is made against an entirely new party, any relief claimed must be for an action related to, or connected with, the plaintiff’s claim. Like a Statement of Claim, a Statement of Cross Claim has to fully set out in the pleadings the details of the Cross Claim, in accordance with the Rules (see UCPR Part 9 and Part 14).
If the Cross Claim being filed introduces an entirely new party into the case, as a Cross Defendant you should be particularly aware of the requirements of UCPR 9.7. This Rule sets out the documents you need to serve on the new Cross Defendant.
Varying orders originally sought
These forms can be used to alter or vary the original orders you were seeking from the court. To open these forms, you will need to login and enter case details to find your case, and then select the relevant form.
Amended Plans can only be filed if leave, or permission, has been granted by the Court.
To file this form, you should first make an application for leave to rely on Amended Plans by filing a Notice of Motion and an Affidavit in support. Once you have obtained leave in court, you can file the Amended Plans.
Your Amended Plans (and any application for leave to amend plans) must have attached written particulars that indicate the nature of the changes to the original plans.
A Statement of Claim may be amended once without the court’s permission if it is done within 28 days of the original document being filed. If more than 28 days has passed, or if you have already amended your original Statement of Claim once before, you must ask for, and obtain, the Court’s permission to file an Amended Statement of Claim.
If your case is in the Local Court’s Small Claims Division, you can ask for permission to amend when you appear at the Pre-Trial Review. In any other cases, you need to file a Notice of Motion (UCPR 20) to obtain an order to amend.
To prepare your Amended Statement of Claim, download the Statement of Claim form. You will need form number UCPR 3A, if you are a legal professional representing a client, or UCPR 3B, if you are representing yourself. You will also need to follow the instructions outlined in UCPR19.5. Read more on how to file an Amended Statement of Claim.
Amended Statement of Cross Claim
If circumstances arise such that you wish/need to amend your Cross Claim, you will need to prepare the amended document in accordance with the requirements of UCPR 19.5, especially noting the mode of amendment.
You will need to seek permission, or leave, to amend the Cross-Claim. This leave is sought by way of a Notice of Motion to amend, except for Local Court Small Claims Division Cross Claims where the leave is sought at Pre-Trial Review, filed and granted.
Amended Statement of Facts and Contentions
This form can only be filed after the Court has given leave to vary the content of the Statement of Facts and Contentions that you lodged originally.

Notice of Motion - Writ for Levy of Property (UCPR 65)
The Notice of Motion Writ for Levy of Property is an application made after a court has awarded judgment in your favour, or your client's favour. You use this form to apply for an order that permits the Sheriff of New South Wales to seize and sell the debtor's personal property (excluding real estate) so that the proceeds of any sale can be paid towards the amount owing.
It is only possible online to nominate ONE address in New South Wales that the Sheriff should attend to seize property from the debtor. If the property you intend the Sheriff to seize is located at multiple addresses, you will need to file your motion by post, or over the counter at the Registry location where your judgment was issued.
Although you are not required to pay a fee to file this motion, you will need to pay the fee the Sheriff requires in order to execute the writ. This fee will be calculated after you have answered the form questions. If you have been granted a fee postponement or fee waiver, you cannot file this form online. You will have to file by post or at the registry. Read more about fees and payment.
Assuming your application is in order, the Registry will issue a Writ for Levy of Property and send directly to the Sheriff the information they need to seize the property
