10  Effect of service under section 9
  Service of an initiating document in New Zealand under section 9:
 (a) has the same effect; and
 (b) gives rise to the same proceeding;
as if the initiating document had been served in the place of issue.
Note: For initiating documents issued by an Australian court, the defendant may apply to the Australian court to stay the proceeding on the grounds that a New Zealand court is the more appropriate court: see Part 3. In some cases, the defendant and the defendant's lawyer may appear remotely in that stay proceeding without the court's leave: see subsection 18(4).
